This page is a short overview of my posts on a 1963 Tripet MHP 500 surface grinder that I picked up and put back to work. The Tripet is a compact, Swiss-built grinder. Mine originally came from the Werkzeugmaschinen-Laboratorium at ETH Zürich and now lives in my workshop.
Below is the original Tripet sales brochure for the MHP 500 and 350.
These posts are a much shorter version of a long forum thread I wrote while doing the work. If you read German and want the full, messy, chronological story with all the dead-ends and side-quests, it’s here: forum.zerspanungsbude.net thread.
