JHCC Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 The town just to the north of here was a major producer of sandstone grinding wheels and millstones back in the day. Still bills itself as the Sandstone Capital of the World. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mlfricke Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 I stumbled across this forum while looking for information on an new/old grinding wheel. It's 24" in diameter and around 2.5" thick. The name stamped on the side looks like "Beach Abrasives - Cleveland" model S-I55. Google was no help. It appears to be unused and I'm seeking information on if they are still used, its value, etc. Any assistance would be appreciated. I've attached pictures for reference. Thanks,.

ThomasPowers Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 about 500 pesos, in general used grinding wheels cannot be used for any powered systems due to the danger of undetected damage---people get killed by exploding wheels. They can still be used for treadle systems but few people use those. There are over 100 countries who participate here so you may get prices in anything from Australian or Canadian or Hong Kong dollars to Euros, rupiah, colons, etc; World Wide Web you know...

Treadle type with a seat that fit me much better then than it does now. Still in my shop guess I Will keep it for nostalgia but not much use these days will end up in our museum soon. Value not much.
