Thread: eBay (and other auctions) Metalwork Stuff

Anything labelled Biax these days seems to be gold plated...

This is just a sales catalogue.... I did throw a bid on it, bit nothing remotely near the final price..

I took some pics of ours.

Not exactly the place and few will care but I measured the rpm of my Hercus camelback today.

45.5 72 111 174 in back gear
241 380 577 890 direct

Motor 1470 rpm
Rated rpm 1430

45rpm...... so I guess they'd do alright as a winch lol

p.s.................what have I stuffed up now?? RC's post has been split in two??........ fixed but some what straggly... oh well.

Doesn't that depend on the speed of the steam driven line-drive outside the shed...

Is that the belt slapping?? It might be slow but would have heaps of torque!

$600, Set up with horizontal shaft, had genuine dividing head and centres. Couldn't work out from the wording if it had the vertical head with it or they were available to buy but not included.

Don't tell Phil but the belt still goes tick tick tick tick tick .
I think its mostly the bevel gears. Although the back gears might stay engaged so if so that wouldn't help.

Unusual FIDAX? drill press

Considering what that hercus dividing head went for a few weeks ago it was an absolute bargain.
