I have an old metal case for a socket set probably made in the late 60's early 70's and I want to restore it. Can any tell me what color red that Sidchrome used back then or what to use to restore it...

Probably built in the late sixties, planning hull, was fitted with a windscreen. Restored but now For Sale. See on Gum Tree under "Timber 12 foot dinghy", located at Scarborough, Qld.

I finally fixed the problem. Decided to go for broke. Wound the screw out by putting a shifter on the allen key to find that the screw has two flats on it. I thought it would have a round end with a...

Thanks for that. I have done that now (turned screw in and out slightly, many times) and at least the slide is moving more freely. The screw just will not undo. I think I will strip the hex in side...

Thanks guys. I did try the uk website and yes you do have to register, but it is set up for new buyers from what I can see. The grub screw I mentioned is at the side and the tensioning screw (handle)...

I have just bought an old Record Coronet No3 wood lathe. It is in pretty good condition. However I have a problem with the tailstock. I was going to remove the tail stock quill (the horizontal...

Thanks China, that's what I have done. I was going to use the floor pickup attatchment from Carb e tek ($80) but found a small pickup with a hose attachment at a local tool store with an old price...

I have a Durden Pacemaker UP10, 10' combination saw and planer. There is a dust collection point on the front which I have connected a 4" hose to. The only problem is that it only collects shavings...

Found a brand on it "Tauco" Milwalkee. Really need to know the speed please...

I have just bought a little 4inch jointer. It is not branded but on the safety guard it has " 4" Junior", it was made in Millwalkie and has a McPhersons badge on it??? It is cast iron, bench mounted....

I have just purchased a Tormek T3, second hand at a garage sale. It has a jig for holding thicknesser blades but nothing else. The wheel is clogged and does not run true, it has a bump or wobble (not...

:- Sorry mate, I don't normally do that. It was just to show everything that goes with the machine. I'm an ex Manual Arts Teacher, hope no students are watching and hope you guys will forgive me.

I know it's not a Hercus but you guys are fairly knowledgable. I need help identifying this old lathe. The chuck has a USA inscription on it. I would say some things have been modified. The base and...

Hi
I would like to have my 9'' Hercus registered also. The model # is A8103, with matching tail stock (1962), I've had it for about 2 years. It is in reasonable condition. I have only had to give it...

:D Well done. I would like to hear from your friend too. I'm after a 4 jaw ind chuck and a face plate??? Maybe we could have a Hercus Forum??

Thanks Damain.
I've got the bed fairly good now. I'm still not sure how to proceed from there. I can't visualise what you mean with the clamps. I do suspect that the tail stock is out. I still think...

Basically that's exactly what I have done. As I said I'm down to 0.02mm, should I keep trying until it's spot on. I know my tailstock is out too but I don't have a face plate or drive dogs to turn...

I have raised the whole tailstock end as evenly as possible as per the manual. The lathe is on a standard hercus type metal cabinet. The concrete floor could be out, although I was surprised that I...

I am trying to get my Model A 9'' Hercus (1962) a bit more accurate. When I make a test piece as described in the setting up section of the "little red text book", I end up with the outer collar...

:UI don't suppose you have a spare 4 jaw chuck or face plate you would like to sell?? I have a limited budget and have been chasing these bits for awhile. thanks.
