Well I was very fortunate to be able to win a Hercus Model A T-Slot Crosslide and 4 way Toolpost on eBay for $350 as I had previously tried to buy a crosslide on it's own was rather expensive
Did anybody see the item on eBay?? as I was thrilled as these items do not come along often plus it has the attachment to bolt the toolpost onto the T-Slot Crosslide as well
This was made at a machine shop and is higher than standard and the seller kept it when he sold his Model A and bought a 260C ? only to find the crosslide is completely different
Did I get a bargain at $350.00 or did I pay to much ??
either way I wanted and I got so know I have 2 lower crosslides in my spares box
Nobody found me a tapered roller bearing headstock yet??
or even a standard one with just the Mainshaft as I am looking at making a new Headstock completely that covers the lathe of the bed from one side to the other and run larger bearings
I might get this going one day
all the best derek bitza500
