New, with Hercus 260

mardi 1 avril 2014

Hi All, I am a mechanical engineer and I do have some machining experience, mustly on mills. I live in the Ryde area I was able to purchase this Hercus 260 lathe from my work. I just have to get it home now, it already has a spot in the garage. At $250 it was too good to pass up. There is also a lot of gear and a bit of stock material with it, but I am yet to inventory it all.

Sorry for poor photo.



The lathe looks to have had very little work, It has been in the basement workshop since I started work here nearly 15 years ago, in that time I have seen it used maybe 6 times. We had a toolmaker here that said it has some movement in the cross slide and I should be able to sort it out.



The lathe is powered by a 3 phase 550W crompton parkinson motor. I only have single phase. looking to work that out. Wondering wether to keep the tree phase and run off a VFD or convert to a single phase. I have a little money to spend considering it was cheap to buy.



Cheers

Karl
