    Default Hercus milling machine mk 1 & 2

    So seeing a Hercus model 0 Mk2 milling machine on the interweb, there are obvious differences (to a Mk1 ) in that the table has three T slots and the mk2 has a better speed range.

    what other differences are there. are the slide ways longer wider, z axis longer etc? does it still have MT3 arbour?

    not sure if there's any info in the manual (as I don't have one )

    just wondering.

    cheers

    Default Hercus milling machine Specifications 2 slot and 3 slot machines

    After about three years from my first post above.... I recently got a copy of another Hercus mill manual (recently posted on this forum). I later discovered that this new manual was in fact for the three slot (Mk2) mill .

    So have put together a comparison table.Hercus 2 & 3 slot machines comparison.pdf

    The Mk2 has a slightly bigger (wider and longer table) and more cross slide travel and slightly more z axis travel. Also there was the option to order a 30 international taper instead of the morse #3 advertised for the Mk1 and you can only assume that it was available for the Mk2.

    also a couple of images of the details.

    Cheers
