Miniature bench grinder

[mklotz]

This is a dollhouse scale (1:12) model of an overhead belt drive driven grinder built from a casting kit from PMR models. It's approximately 4" high so 4' in full scale. The grinding wheels would actually grind; they're Cratex grinding disks. The purists should note that the threads on the wheel securing gear on the left side are properly left hand despite being only 2-56.

This picture shows the tool rests in more detail. They were some of the more difficult parts to machine. Although the doubly tapered leg spreaders weren't exactly a walk in the park either.
