Gday There Everyone
I'm a new (old) bloke from the Newcastle area. After 40 yrs in business retired a couple of years ago and trying to relearn some skills from trade school days. Bought a Hercus 9" model A and trying to gather information on maintenance and use.

An ex Novacastrian myself.
Did an apprenticeship with the then “Shortland County Council”, back in the day.
These days I only touch tools for my own satisfaction. Motorbikes and Metal work. (And “Practical” wood work when required)

Welcome Garry!
Hercus maintenance?
Like any machine, keep it clean, and give it lots of oil
