NSW. Elliott 921 Automatic Surface Grinder
I am reluctantly selling my Elliott 921 hydraulic surface grinder. I got it a few years ago together with a few other machines, but just don't have the room for it, and I desperately need to reclaim some workshop space.
It has automatic hydraulic longitudinal and cross traverse, and a separate coolant tank with pump. Table travel is 21" x 9" (533 mm x 228 mm). Max distance from spindle centre to table is 21" (533mm). The handwheel graduations are metric. It comes with a 500 mm x 200 mm magnetic chuck, and a wheel balancing device. It uses 3 phase power, but could presumably be run from an inverter on 240V single phase. Weight is 1199 kg. It is a large capacity, solid machine. It comes with the original operating and maintenance manual.
I am the second owner. I saw it running in the workshop it came from, but I have not had it running in my own workshop. The equivalent Taiwanese/Chinese machines from Machinery House appear to cost $10,000 to $23,000. I'm asking $5,000 ono. Pick up in northern Sydney.

Price drop
Now that lockdowns are over, I'm keen to sell this machine. Price drop to $4,500, or make me a sensible offer.

Price drop
This machine is now up on Machines4U at $3990, negotiable for a quick sale. I really need to reclaim the shed space.
It's a solid machine, and comes with a large magnetic base, seperate coolant tank and pump, and a wheel balancing device. It would make a useful addition to anyone's workshop. I know I will regret selling it in a few years time when I move out to a place with a larger shed, but unfortunately it's got to go.

Hi PDW.
In the manual, the net weight is listed as 995kg, gross weight is 1199kg. So the grinder itself is under 1 tonne. I'm not sure exactly what makes up the difference between net and gross, but potentially it is without the seperate coolant tank and motor/pump, and without the mag base? These items could be shipped separately, as could the cast guarding, balancer, spare wheels etc.
You know you need it
Graham.

There are 2 items left on my machine tool upgrade list. A SG with power feeds and a DS&G 17 in good condition with taper attachment. Or equivalent quality machine with TA & decent size spindle bore.
And I'll never find either in Tasmania except by an absolute fluke.
The mass isn't a problem for freight really, it's a problem for carrying on my 4wd flat tray. In theory the Rodeo could do it, in practice I'm not happy with that much.
I'll think on it a bit. All the coolant & hydraulic oils etc would have to be drained for transport regardless. Question is how much the b******s would want for freight this year. I'm not returning to Sydney until the various State govts stop with the stupid games WRT quarantine when people like me are fully vaxed & can get negative covid tests before traveling. It took me 6 weeks to get back home last time and nearly 2 weeks of that was in hotel quarantine DESPITE being vaxed & having 2 neg covid tests.

Yeah, I understand about the interstate travel. Keep in touch, I've just paid for another month on Machines4U, but if it hasn't gone by the end of the year I probably won't re-advertise until February.
