Hercus Lathe "Text Book of Turning"

Paula, thank you so much for this link, you are a darling. The local school sold 10 Hercus lathes this week, for $300 each. I bought one, had no idea how to work it. I’m a wood worker, this is my first venture into metal. See www.alstin.com.au to see what I make.

I downloaded your file last night, read til very late and had a great day playing with my new (old) toy. I have passed on your pdf file to a few of the other blokes who bought a lathe, they too are greatly thankful to you. It will be immensely helpful.

I joined up here, just so I could say thank you. Best wishes, Andrew Alstin ( Australia)
 
Hi Andrew,

Congratulations on your recent purchase. I'm glad that the link helped you out -- that's what this forum is about. Hope you enjoy using your "new" tool.

I enjoyed browsing your website, too. That is some truly beautiful work!

Paula

Sorry, I didn't compose the link, just copied it from another post within the PM forum. It didn't occur to me to wonder who uploaded it.

Adrian owner of metalillness.com hosts these files , so you can reward him by at least joining in and posting on the site .. and bring people into the hosts site ..

Indeed. Looks like he could use a few more moderators over there.
 
Without trying to get into a peeing contest, are you sure the Metalillness site was the original uploader of the book? I see his post was on 31 March 2005; a quick search found the same book posted on 01 Nov 2004 on Yahoo's 9x20 forum....

hercus manual

Hi all; I've used a Hercus AR for about 35 years in my school shop. I bought a Hercus AU last summer for my pre-retirement gift. I have learned a great deal more from this manual about the Hercus and also wish to thank you all who copied this manual and posted it for us to use. Wayne
