Hercus Vertical Head.
Hi Guys.
Trying to help out a young bloke who has an O mill S/N OLM 528 , came from a school and the vertical head has never been fitted or used, still has packing grease on gear , it has a collet adapter fitted and not having a manual or exploded view am reluctant to get too heavy handed in trying to remove it , am I correct in thinking this adapter is just fitted into the Morse taper and held in place by the draw bar on the collet and should tap out of the Morse taper with draw bar and collet removed or is there some other procedure required ??
Jim.

Your thinking is correct. A bit of 20mm rod down the hole and a gentle tap should see it fall out.

Hi,
When I got mine it was the same. I gently knocked it out with some bar but I sprayed WD40 or some other lubricant to help release it.
