Hi,
Could you tell me the weight and overall dimensions of the machine.

Hercus,

I think you will need to send BobL a private message regarding the inclusion of your machine in the register.

Hi Hercus,
I just picked up a Hercus 12 X 40 and was wondering if anyone has a travelling or fixed steady I can measure up so I can have them cast. If anyone is wondering about the weight it's about 800kg (we weighed a 14 X 40 at 900kg so assume it's a little lighter) without tailstock, chucks and toolpost, I managed to lift it with an engine crane and a prayer. I've got to fit a new motor before testing so don't know how it runs as yet but everything appears in good order.

Got a pair of steadies from older style Hercus plain bearing 12"x40"
Dont know if design has changed as newer models became available

Just curious - are these copies of South Bend lathes?
