I've decided I'm going to convert the grinder back to manual rather than work on getting the pneumatics going right now.
Multiple reasons but mainly I think its going to be easier to learn using a fully manual machine.
Currently my cross feed shaft is missing the handwheel, but it has a chain sprocket on the drive end. The decal on the wheel guard mentions the need to adjust the cable after prolonged use, so I figure it was originally cable driven. Seems reasonable to return it back to that.
So I'll need a handwheel, cable drum, and some cable/fittings.
Doing some rough on-screen measuring from a photo I found of my model, it looks like the handwheel should be about 9" diameter. Does that seem about right?
Trying to work out the traverse rate, I found an online spec with a travel of 2.7"/rev for a similar 6x18 grinder. I've also found photos of a Norton machine that appears to have a drum around 2" diameter (so ~6"/rev assuming direct drive)
Anyone with a grinder care to give me a sanity check on the travel rate?
