    Default Hercus Power Hacksaw

    Free to a good home. I can get this on to a trailer or ute but need a day to prepare the way.

    My worst ever purchasing decision. I spent money to get this but the sheer size and weight of it makes it unsuitable for my lifestyle. It has to go. I should have bought the Lotze that was available at the same time.

    From what I can see all the parts including adjustable stop for the material are there. I haven't run it or seen it run. It is very very dirty.

    If I don't get any takers that can act soon (this is important it is taking valuable space and reminding me I am an idiot) I will be getting it to a point where one of those door to door scrap mongers will take it away.

    It located in Woodville South Australia.

    If you are still after a Lotze, I have one at Aberfoyle Park that you are welcome to have. I've never used it (already have a Hercus in good nick that gets used every day) so cannot vouch for it's accuracy. It's 3 phase but you could presumably swap motors with your Hercus if necessary.

    Anyway, if you want it, it's yours...

    Kryn,

    If I use Eskimo's packing and stacking method I could double the amount of stuff in the shed.

    I’ll ponder it for a bit and get back to you shortly, although realistically I don’t really need any more three phase conversions at the minute. I still have a mill and a drill press along with some rework on another drill press to sort a couple of things I’m not happy with.

    Eric, I got around 8 of your PMs - so they are being sent - and have replied. Ring me any day from tomorrow on (at Mallala converting cash into noise and speed today).
