Hi folks,
Just acquired a Hercus Model A ...
I have just noticed on cleaning it up that it has a Metric thread plate glued to the belt cover.
Additionally, a few other anomalies include the lead screw gearbox with a metric plate, 3mm lead screw, green paint as opposed to the "grey /black" of the rest of the machine with hand engraved serial (as opposed to the normal stamp)...
Tail stock/cross feed, etc are all in metric graduations, the full collet set is also metric...
Machine is 8604 and has some other markings on it which I suspect are ex defence..
There is also a manual with the signature of a well known Hercus tech on it...but not matched to machine..
Thoughts? Opinions??
I just wanted a reliable starter lathe...Hercus was always up there, but never expected metric...
