I acquired this machine on a online auction two months ago.It is an Oliver 585 tool grinder with 1/3 h.p.,115/230 volts,single phase motor.It has two kerosene holding tanks
with turn valve drip control and a water holding reservoir to cool your tool or blade in.
All the stones and wheels are on the machine including the hard to find cone shape stone and the leather wheel.It is in very good condition and came from a middle school shop with very little use.I must now decide if I want to keep my Muffet Dixon tool grinder or the Oliver tool grinder for the shop.
