    Default 9" rebuild

    Hi all,
    I found this site while looking for information on my lathe.
    The pics show what I bought and now the hard work begins.


    I am sure I will be asking lottts of questions.

    Cheers Phil

    Hi,

    Good luck with your rebuild. A source of parts and expertise is Mal at Australian Metalworking Hobbyist. Also, look on ebay for a book called "How to rebuild a Southbend 9" (something like that) , its by a company that specializes in Southbend Lathes which the Hercus basically is.

    HI,
    Good Luck with Your Project. I came across this Website http://www.steammachine.com/hercus/ when I use to own a Hercus, I never Rebuiltmine though. The Hercus on the Website is a Roller bearing Lathe though and not a Plain bearing one. Here is a Link to the Lathes Manual http://www.metalwebnews.com/manuals/lathe-tutorial.pdf .

    The shortest way to do many things is to do only one thing at once.
