]So I found a sag 12 on cl a few weeks back.I bought it without looking
at it thinking worst case I had a project for a few weeks.Showed up looking
very neglected but not beat to crap.Came with tooling, 3/4 jaw chucks , a 4 jaw scroll
and a pratt bernard collet set.I decided to strip down ,fix ,repaint.I found a crack in the
apron .This I ground out ,clamped back into shape and re-welded.Turned out better then I had anticipated.
Now it's all back together except for the micro switches in the control handle.Turned out to look not bad.
I powered it up and tested before the tear down and everything was fine but the switch.![Click image for larger version.

The Graziano is a nicely designed machine.Very easy to work on .I'm a bit surprised that the apron
was cast aluminum but much easier to repair than cast iron.Closest thing for a date was on the transformer,
1985.
