My New Lathe.
Re: My New Lathe.
If the missus ain't happy kick her out and get a single bed. Then you'll have room for it.

Nice acquisition. What swing/length-BC is the lathe?
My misses fully supports my new shop and equipment.
She always knows where I am!

Re: My New Lathe.
Does it not appear to be of two types? There is the sort of S.B. style mated with a later style head assembly. The tail and bed are unique to this. At 10" swing these would be very powerful lathes and perhaps why named Hurcus as in Hercules.
Re: My New Lathe.
Hi There,
The Hercus started as a SBL clone (I believe they were licensed copies).
In later years, they enclosed the headstock and belt drive assembly and
made other improvements to the original SBL design. The apron and
tailstock retained their SBL look.
Good Luck!
