Bell Nielson K50 Chain Grinder

[Philbert]

This grinder came up in another thread, and some of photos / info in the earlier threads have been damaged or lost. So I am starting a new thread on this vintage grinder.

***Please add any photos, comments, experience, or questions regarding this grinder here. NOT for general grinding questions (LOTS of threads on that!)***

Photos courtesy of @devonhubb that I cleaned up a little.

Apparently, this grinder was originally made by Nielson Corporation, which was acquired, or renamed, as Bell Industries (see lower right corner of first photo).

Not a money making site so I have been allowed to post links. I dont take money for sponsors etc as I dont do it for $.
Just use the website as a old file cabinet to store useful info for this type of helpful info.
