FA: Dumore Tool Post Grinder Inserts, K.O. Lee Index Disc and other metalworking items on Ebay

I previously listed these Tool Post Grinder Spindle Inserts as a set on
Ebay and they did not sell although I had many watchers. I am
re-listing them individually. I am alerting this group because, as you
are probably aware, these inserts are very hard-to-find for sale
independent of the grinder.

Please go to the following Ebay links to see the Dumore inserts:

        If only they would fit the series 11 grinders, instead of the
series 57, I would be interested.

        Good Luck,
                DoN.

Series 11? I inherited a Series 11 from my maternal grandfather, long
before I had any idea what a toolpost grinder was. I pulled it out of
dusty neglect and ran it, but the spindle bearings don't feel right, and
heat up if the unit is run. The motor is in perfect condition.

Do you have the manual? I'd like to take the spindle apart and see if I
can fix it. If spare parts are available.

Sounds like it just needs proper lubrication.
Could be that the oil in the spindle has hardened over time. Try fresh
spindle oil. Disassenbly is fraught with trouble if you don't know exactly
what you are doing.

I did oil it to the gills, to no effect. When I turn it by hand, it
feels like gravel in the bearings, and as it ran it got hotter, and it
tightened noticeab
