This bench grinder has been sitting outside for about 40 years or so on the Oregon coast and it still gets used a few times a week, I remember it was in the garage that the roof collapsed before that.

Nice! I once found a machinist 6” vice that must have fallen off of someone’s truck. After cleanup and oiling it works like a charm. I’ve had it for 25 years.

Wow, that’s incredible! That bench grinder is a true testament to durability. Surviving and enduring the coastal elements for 40 years, yet still going strong.
