I was one of the participants in a thread a while ago, and was on the lookout for one at the time. But since then a nice one floated my way on the bay.
If only I could free the rusty nut holding the stone on, I'd be even happier (occasional heat, regular applications of WD40, and judicious taps with a hammer have so far failed).
Bodgermatic was the originator of that thread, but it seems he hasn't been here for a couple of weeks now.

Pete,
Can you get a nut spitter on it? Failing which, use a Dremel with a cutting disc?

Is it the old left hand thread problem you often get on things that rotate, like drill chucks etc.........?

Chris and Paul, thanks for the tips. I'm not sure if it's a left-hand thread problem since I can't get any movement in either direction yet.
I was sadly ignorant of the nut splitter (just googled it). I have resorted to the Dremel in similar situations and it may yet come to that, but I'm prepared to try gentle persuasion and chemical inducement for a while longer

Ooo, ooo (plus other excited noises) - think that was me. Have you got one you'd part with?
Yep! Solid cast iron, the wheel is good, 200mil by 40 mil, There is no blade rest, if one was ever fitted. Make unknown, no sign of a maker's mark, perhaps a stuck on label that has vanished. If you want some pics let me know.

PM sent, thanks.
Pete,
Instead of WD40 try one of the avaible rust remover liquids or a light acid. Also you might be able to see if its a left running thread by glimpsing down at the end of the thread. If not possible sometimes its possible to poke with a thin piece of somthing.
