Missed that auction, did you see what prices all the gear went for, it doesn't look like you can view the bids now.
Regards

I had a good look at it on Thursday, It was in good-ish condition and went for about $725 in the end, although I don't think the purchaser was very happy with it (a friend of mine today said he was trying to trade it away, dont really know what the deal was it looked a solid machine to me.) I was after a grinder in the auction but it went our of my price range ($250). Most of the big INT40 King Rich mills went for more than $4000, same with the many lathes. All the Waldown pillar drills went for between $350 and $400 except a dirty old one I bought for $150, yet to see if i regret that purchase. I dont know what the two Jones and Shipman grinders went for.

I have a hercus slotter. It would be as good or better than the other slotters i have used. It does suffer from the same problem that most slotters have, you either need to be a dwarf or sit on a milk crate to use it without killing your back.

I generally find that all machine tools are wayyyy too low to use comfortably and im only 6', makes me wonder what the really tall guys do in big shared shops, just hunch i guess.

I missed out on seeing the sale.
In the listing, now gone, I think they called it a Hercus MDT slotter. If I've got the MDT bit right what do that refer to?

Do you have any pics of the hercus slotter that you could show. I assume it fits the O mill. Interested in acquiring one but don't know what I'm looking for. tHANKS IN ADVANCE

No is a full on vertical slotter with a big x y rotary table. A much much bigger dedicated version of the little jumping Jack's.
