If you have no luck finding someone with a similar model can your questions or concerns be answered by written word.

Hi,

Try this link to the Hercus Text Book of Turning.

You can also buy the actual book from various places if you like.

thanks ben i shall get it from the net cheers wayne

You may find that the rack on the Sheraton dosent sit as low as the Hercus.
If thats the case if its a concern you may have to shim/pack the rack down to engage better with the handwheel gear.
Did you have a problem with the Sheraton Carriage.

thanks done that today shimmed down one ml and problem would seem to be solved thankyou and i dont know if there was a problem with the sheraton one it had missing parts and i had to change the apron regards wayne
