This paper describes the 6 MeV linac electron accelerator facility now operating at SINS, Świerk, Poland. The accelerator can work in both the electron or X-ray photon mode. The photon beam may be used for non-destructive radiographic investigations on a laboratory scale and, with some modifications, for industrial purposes, as well. As the accelerator's removable tungsten e/X converter is placed outside, the beam vacuum window, an external electron beam is also accessible. The design stages of the accelerator's construction are described, and examples of measurements and radiographic pictures are also presented.
