Once again you've reminded me of my dad. He passed 3.2021. He retired from Sears Roebuck & Co. in the late 70s, they carried mostly Craftsman tools. As I go thru his many owner's manuals of all his machinery and tools they're all Craftsman. I do believe he (or my grandfather, his dad, had one of these). Thank you!

Sorry to hear about your father. My dad and grandfathers were Craftsman men too. These old tools are a real connection to them. Thanks for watching!

"Not ANOTHER bench grinder restoration!" I say to Myself just before I sit there and watch the full 20 minutes of the video in complete awe. Loved the method of using dry ice to constrict the part to fitting into place. Also like that you colour matched the original paint work and kept the original decal in place. Top job! :)

Wonderful job. Made at a time when craftsman tools were of the top quality you could buy . Unfortunately now made in China by the lowest bidder . I'm 15 years older than that grinder , but the memories are there . My brother and l pooled resources and bought that model for our dads 50th. birthday .

Lucky for us they made a lot of them and they can still be found in pretty good shape. A testament to their quality. I've got a pretty rare craftsman tool grinder/hone coming up as a restoration video this summer. Thanks for watching.

I have this same grinder... I was a kid when my father had this in his workshop. I am 65 now. I was looking to find out how to change the belt? That was a Monumental task in itself still not sure if I can get the shaft out though? I'm going to try to save the bearings. Dads grinder is in excellent shape for how old it is.. Great job on refurbishing this beauty of a grinder... Thank you for memory lane as well.
@AcmeRestorations

If your bearings are in good shape, leave the shaft in and just use a segmented belt, like an Accu-link. Thanks for watching!

Great Job making that old girl look new again. I have my nieces father-in-law's 1947 Craftsman jig/Scroll saw made by King/Sealy. It is in great shape with I believe it's original belt still running the old girl! Was able to clean belt off and it had the part number of belt that I found in a 1947 sears tool catalog! They made the belts well back then as well as the machines!

Back at the time Craftsman was well made! I have thought about the ice method in the past, my concern is the moisture it may create where bearing seats on the shaft. Possibly some anti sieze on shaft would be good to have where bearing sits to negate the moisture issue. Only other thing I might have done is use the old stones and put the dressing tool to them, they had the look of aluminum had been ground on them. As always, another nice job, enjoyed the video. Thanks!

@@AcmeRestorations If end up restoring mine, I'll definitely replace the bearings. It was given to me 25 years ago for free because of the bad cord (shrug) so I have been just using it since. I think its going to out last me though. ;-) BTW, I recommend getting a link belt for it that won't take a set between uses. It'll stay smooth as the belt ages and you won't have to disassemble to change anything.
