Hi 4-6-4...can you get him to give it a better look over for a manufacturers name? Demco were agents only back in the day.

I have one of these, and there's not a nameplate anywhere. I think it's this one.

K.O. Lee brand from USA could be the genesis of this grinder. There's a brief instruction guide.

Thanks for the comments chaps This beastie has no name and there is no place that there has been one. The KO machine looks to be the closest. We all know that pirating a tool or for that matter any thing on this Gods little green earth goes on. Just about every machine manufacture had a go at a Tool and Cutter Grinder. Some of the machines were advertised as Chip Breaker these did not have a sub table. 4-6-4

It's more likely to be the Hercus, which looks like a close copy of the K.O.Lee.
But to be fair to Hercus, we don't know it was pirated.
There's more info on K.O.Lee grinders (Files section) at Yahoo group:
