Just joined & Hercus 12 x 40 (was14x40)
Made a mistake in the size, it's a Hercus 12 x 40. Just got it home.
How do I add it to the register ?

hercus 12 X 40
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.
