    Default Hercus Model A metal lathe for sale $350 - Hobart Tas

    Old Hercus or possibly South Bend lathe as there is no badge on the bed casting, not used for over 40 years. Plain bearings, no quick change gearbox but full set of change gears.

    Flatbelt 3 speed plus back gears. No motor but motor mount is there. As common with these lathes some ham-fisted person has broken 1 gear tooth off the bull gear and mating back gear. Could be bronze welded or replacement parts still available off of Ebay etc.

    3 jaw chuck, face plate, drive plate for lathe dogs, some lathe dogs, tailstock drill chuck, some other tooling that I have forgotten about in a box. May be able to throw in a 4 jaw chuck depending on circumstances.

    I was given this lathe along with a lot of other stuff in return for cleaning up a deceased estate shed. As I have a much better lathe already the thing is just taking up space in my shed and I'd like it to go away.

    Would consider trade for old wood working equipment such as jointer, thickness planer, spindle moulder etc preferably 3 phase. I can deliver this machine in the Hobart area for free, wider area by arrangement and cost of fuel. Purchaser must inspect machine personally FIRST as it is not currently capable of being operated under power and you'd need to satisfy yourself that it's suitable for your use.

    It's actually a Model C.

    I'll take $300 and toss in a couple more tools plus a vertical milling slide that also needs some finishing off. It's been in my collection of stuff I don't need for far too long.

    If this thing doesn't sell soon it's going on Ebay or in a crate and on the pallet racking for posterity. I want the rolling work bench back.
