Thank you!

I checked it after cleaning it and it was ok for just sitting on the bench, but it really didn't get that hot.

It was mounted to an old oil soaked wooden bench, so it got paint damage and the motor fried.

The bench actually survived the fire, charred but still standing.

The fire was the work of an arsonist who lit it with gasoline that eventually got the wood roof burning to the point of collapse, so all of the heat remained on top until it fell.

The rust was from when they extinguished the fire.

I haven't mounted it yet because my new shop area is still in the works, but I'm confident that it will be fine when I do.

They is heavy to move in one piece so it is just sitting disassembled on her new bench until moving day.

I got it out of the rubble a day after it was burned, took it home and slathered it with oil before the disassembly and cleaning began.

A new DRO is waiting in the wings for her and I found the original milling attachment for her in the rubble.

It is pristine looking now too.

All of the smaller items were glass beaded then oiled, bagged and painted if needed.

There is a new felt kit for it and all that is really left to gather is a new three phase motor and a VFD.

For now, my shop is inside of my home, with four lathes in the lineup.

The Grizzly is sitting on my diningroom table.

It got placed back there after my '57 Atlas 618 was refinished.

The Atlas is on the original cast legs with the original wood, has a brand new 4 jaw in it and I got the Dumore toolpost grinder, a Hardinge tool post and mica undercutter for it.

Because it is so pretty, it sleeps under a blanket in the livingroom.

I will share some images of that soon.

We estimate that it only has about 20 total time hours on it due to the lack of any signs of wear on the bedways.

My plans for it are to sell it to someone who only wants an heirloom to tinker with because I already know that it is too small for my needs and using it will only screw it up.

And instead of machinery gray as original, it got a very nice coat of Rustoleum Sail Blue.

I went with the blue because the original gray only yellows after it gets oil on it, and if you aren't over oiling it, you aren't treating it right in my honest opinion.

The belt cover wasn't up to snuff after it's refinish, so it got stripped bare again and polished before the next coat of paint.

The quick change gearbox housing on my Logan was stripped bare then polished too, but is oiled wears no paint.

I do most of my machines in black these days because I like them that way and they never yellow.

The horizontal saw resides in my polebarn along with a metal cutting vertical.

I only have three drill presses here in my home and a Cincinnati Toolmaster I left at my Dad's shop to complete my package.
