Hercus No3 T&CG base dimensions
I recently acquired a Hercus No3 Tool & Cutter Grinder (older model with plain slides. table with 1/2" t slot without v-way.), mechanically in good shape.
It was removed from a solid timber bench (the iron pedestal base has gone AWOL some years back), and so I'm looking to (preferably) replicate the missing base.
A couple of options present.....
1) concrete and rebar
2) laminated stacked timber or MDF around a 6" steel pipe core with plate steel flange top and bottom (allowing ballast inside the pipe), painted as faux iron.
3) locate a spare pedestal (seems unlikely)
4) build a cabinet type base (including some storage), mobility would be a plus...
Knowing how heavy the top section is, I know the base is going to need to be pretty heavy with appropriate footprint to prevent tip over.
So I'm really looking for original dimensions and suggestions from the alternatives above (or any other great ideas)
Hercus No 3 Tand C 001 (Large).jpg
Working from the bottom up.....
Base plate width = 22"
Overall height =
Base plate mounting holes = 4 x 1/2" @ 16" ctrs
Base plate thickness =
Width of square pedestal at base plate =
Radius pedestal to base plate =
Width of square pedestal at top =
Radius to edges of square pedestal =
Diameter of upper cylindrical section =
Height of upper cylindrical section =
Total height of base =
Mounting flange on grinder column = 7"ODx3"ID with 4x1/2" holes on 6" PCD
Hope you can help fill in the blanks.
Thanks and regards
John

Hi AJ
Thanks for your reply and offer of measurements - greatly appreciated. I do not have any accessories either and will also be looking to fabricate - probably a pair of tailstocks, and a universal work head. Happy to collaborate.
Regards
John

Alan and John
Good luck with your machines. I have a very early number 1, despite the numbering the later model... There is a discussion of the workhead that I think fits your machines and pictures of one disassembled here (from post 35)

I am happy to measure this up if it is useful.
Regards
Ian

Hi John
If you like I could print a photo in half-tone, put some dimensions on that, photograph it and post that?
