While I was planning a Saturday morning round of the local garage sales, I came across a classified ad in the paper for a 9" Hercus lathe selling for $850. So I went round to the property of the man selling it to inspect it, and after a bit of peering around, checking for slop and a test cut on a piece of bright mild steel, I was sold. It comes with a lot of the accesories, a stand and a basically brand new motor. I reckon I have done very well for that amount of money, as a brand new Hafco of that size would cost up to 3 grand or more. I'll be keeping my little Sieg for the time being for working on smaller parts that this one would have trouble with.
