I Finally had some time to spend messing with a 1945 Hall Toledo seat grinder! Every since trade school in 1973 a Souix wet bench has been what I used. Anything under .003 runout on the seat was good,…. So I was taught!
This Hall toledo is “.000” runout!
New stuff looks Cool in a shop,…. I will take 1940’s Quality in machine tools anyday!

A few shots of PORT MAGIC on a profiler manifold, no I didn’t flow it on a bench, but I did wetflow with Dykem layout fluid! And the results of that test tell me its moving a lot of Volume and using not only the roofline of the port but pulling a sweril down the walls.
“speed Secrets”!!’
This project did tell me its time to invest in my own FLOW BENCH!!
Soo, another reason to make the Trip this year to the PRI show
