    Default Hembrug DR1LS for sale.

    Well i think I have to bite the bullet and let my Hembrug go to a new home. It's had a long functional restoration, it's a 1964 model ex CSIRO in Tasmania, Now residing in Mentone.

    It has all the good stuff and accessories, hardened tool steel bed (interestingly riveted then ground) full set of change gears allowing the complete ranges of metric and module pitches from its imperial leadscrew.

    Has its original travelling steady, faceplate, 4-jaw, 3-jaw ( somewhat worn) threading dial and rigid toolpost.

    I have had to do a lot of work to its feed clutches and the entire apron. It is missing its original impossible to replace 3 speed motor, has a 3 phase 1440 rpm unit instead, needs a vfd for the full speed range (29 - 4000 rpm).

    I have rebuilt the cross slide and remade the tumble reverse gears. Ready to roll and a fantastic brutally heavy incredibly rigid machine. Selling for the same price some maniacs put on Myfords . Pictures to come

    Also comes with d1-4 er40 chuck, spare d1-4 backing plate mt2 live center.

    Forklift to load on site, may also be able to do something with the truck bringing its replacement.

    $2750
