Abstract

A self-contained grinder attachment employs a rigid housing having an electric motor mounted thereon for driving both a grinding wheel and a blower which sucks air and loose particles entrained therein from the grinding area, the shaft on which the grinding wheel is mounted being connected to the housing by flexible and resilient connections thereby to isolate the grinding wheel from vibrations originating in the motor and in the lathe itself.
