Does anyone have pictures of a Cincinatti Centerless Grinder model 230-10?
Are they relieable machines?

Are they relieable machines? (prodman823)
(Pardon me) I assume, you are not a machinist-hand? Your situation and purpose are unclear, but I can venture a partial opinion-answer.
Last things first: Cincinatti machines when I operated them were awesomely stout/ well manufactured. But the Centerless grinder I saw 40+ years ago must be scrap by now.
This type of machine has limited uses, especially compared to Lathes which can produce similar and a much wider variety of products. If the tasks you need done involve using hardened materials, precision sizing and finish; Centerless grinding operations are inherently accurate when using proper technique (mainly abrasive-wheel conditioning).

Cincinnati's are noted for their rigidity, reliability, precision and ability to remove material. Big plus; there are a number of Cincinnati rebuilders and parts stock available.
Like all centerless grinding, an understanding of the grinding geometry and careful attention to the machine setup are important to producing quality work (like finish, straightness, roundness and taper).

Before you buy something like a precision piece of grinding equipment, I'd suggest you ask the seller to run a couple sample parts for you to inspect.
