My son and I are just fettling and setting it up in our collection.
I am just joking because I have no intention of machining a crankshaft in it.
I have trued up several Model A rear flanges in another of our lathes, after straightening the cranks in a press.
A crank grinder is something missing in our collection of machine tools.

Let's see a picture of your Tool Post Grinder for that thing!!
