    Default Hercus "O" mill.

    Hi.
    I have a friend who has an ex school Hercus "O" mill that he has realised he will never use and wishes to dispose of.
    Horizontal plus vertical head plus vice plus indexing head and tail stock , three phase motor , resides at Burpengarry Brisbane.
    Any one interested let me know and I can get some picks also could you give me some idea of price.
    Jim.

    Kryn, it's worth checking what E-go (or Transdirect) will charge. Some of the costs are not as bad as you might think.

    I did try them for a price from Sydney to Adelaide for a bench top Surface Grinder, $850.00

    I've used ego in the past and found them ok.
    I have delivered and picked up from their Morebank yard with my ute and had the table saw on a pallet.
    Was your price door to door?

    I may arrange to take a look at this today if possible and I finish the housework. Could take camera if anyone needs pics. A proper camera, not a phone. I have one still in pieces, so unless it's really special I don't think I need it. If I don't and someone wants it, I may be able to assist a little with transport arrangements in some way.

    Thanks again Nev. Great pics. Does it have the support for outrigger when horizontal milling?

    That's well equipped. If you don't have 3 phase you can re-wire the motor for a VFD as well.
