No9 Cylindrical Grinder
Hello all,
I have recently bought a Hercus No9 cylindrical grinder, The previous owner
managed to drop it on it's face and smashed the hand wheels, a small casting
and bent a couple of spindles.
I have pretty well fixed most of it's problems, but there were a couple of parts missing,
the between centres driving pully(the headstock pulley nearest to the grinding wheel),
the internal grinding motor pulley and any chucks that may have been with it.
I dont have 3 phase power in my shed, so I have changed all the motors to some single phase
ones I have collected over the years, it will be interesting to see if the new motors set up
any vibrations.
I was hoping someone has had experience with these machines and could maybe post a photo
of what the missing pulleys look like, particularly the one on the headstock.
It's a lovely old machine and brings back memories
of my apprenticeship days.
Nick Davies.
PS I would like to attach a photo if someone can help me with the procedure

Hi Nick.
I would like to attach a photo if someone can help me with the procedure
When you compose a message, on of the little icons is a picture (2nd row, 5th from the right). When you hold the mouse cursor over any of the icons, an axplanation of what they do pops up. Choose the "Insert Image" one.
A window pops open to allow you to choose 'From Computer' (yours) or 'From URL' (on the Internet). Chose 'From Computer' and click on 'select files'. The files to select are obviously your photos... then click on 'upload files'.
It may take a little while before it has uploaded your photos and they will appear in your message.
That's it really...
Looking forward to the photos!Cheers,
Joe

Excellent!
What a beautiful machine! Any idea when it was made? Given that it had the guardrail across the front, it is a relatively recent model?
What is the pulley and belt at the bottom left for? Some kind of automatic in-feed or cross-feed?
Did you repaint it or was it as nice as that when you got it?
What size wheels will it take? I have some spares you may like if they fit...
PS: I didn't reply to one of your original questions: Phil F. 'Machtool' has a Hercus No9 and is the master at using it. Not sure if his is the same model, but I suggest you PM hime for some photos of any bits that may be missing. I think there is someone else on this formu who has one - do a search. Is it R.C. perhaps? Richard???Cheers,
Joe

No. 9 Grinder
Hi Joe,
sorry I've been so long answering you, I guess I,ve been trying to fit
too much into each day.
I dont know how old this machine is, but when I started my apprenticeship
in 1951 it was not a new machine then.
It was used mainly for making replacement motorcycle crankpins and gear box shafts.
I bought it mainly as a piece of nostalgia(trying to relive my yooth)but
also to grind up a few parts for classic motor bike retorations.
The guard rail is actually for holding splash guards, which I am in the process of making
and the belt and pulley on the lower left is to drive the auto table traverse, electric motor not yet fitted.
It takes a 250mm wheel and when I got it it was painted a disgusting light blue, not what us oldies think
is a proper machine colour.
I fire it up to test my new spash guards and promptly got sprayed with coolant, so it's back to the drawing board
as I cant remember what the original guards looked like.
Thaks again for your interest,
Nick.

hi nick I realise this is an old thread. But the splash guard on them were concave leading out and then up if that makes sense? Tbh I never found them anygood especially using more modern grinding fluids. I used to have an array of other shields I would poke in place. The grinding spindle used special angular contact bearrings which never ran as accurate as good class conventional bearings. The later supposedly not able to take side loads but managed for the amount a grinding machine outs on them.
