Mechanicaly looks in good shape, haven't checked it electrically,because I don't have a 24V power supply for 5.5 amps.
I'm not real proud of this, Can be had for the price of a six pack and postage.

I think it is a dresser. I'll take it off your hands for a twelve pack plus postage.

I believe it is used to dress stones on a Grinder.

It does remind me of the hydraulically-driven and actuated rotary crush dressers used on some bearing grinders that I had installed and/or serviced when I was in field service for Cincinnati Milacron- Heald Division.

Wheels for grinding bearing races were molded to near-net-shape. Once mounted on the quill of a wheelhead (Heald Red Head), the spindle would start, the dresser would swing into place, the wheel would advance into the diamond-impregnated mating form roll that is seen bolted onto that example.

That one seems similar, but not much of a profile on the dressing wheel. Some of the ones I worked with would grind both races of a double-row angular contact bearing outer race for front wheel drive cars. BTW, those machines were installed at the New Departure Hyatt bearing plant in Sandusky OH. I spent a lot of time there in 1980-1981.
