I recently bought a hard copy of the 1989 version of the Textbook Of Turning which covers the 260 and has an extra 50 pages of info.
Hercus 260 Metal Lathe Manual For ADoes anyone know where I can buy a manual for a Hercus 260 atm lathe.Hercus sell a small book that covers basic maintanence,I think they may also have a CD.
Apart from the apperance of the Headstock and the centre height they are virtually a 9AM. Hercus 260 Metal Lathe Manual For TheYou should be able to either find a Manual for the 9 hercus or a Southbend that will give a fair amount of information. The Southbend book will more than likely only cover Imperial machines. You could even down load the TEXT BOOK OF TURNING,which was put out by Hercus,if you do a search here you should find a link to a download. It contains the genuine Hercus videos on how to opratemaintain the 260 lathe. Cost was 29.50 with postage. It is a poor quality video (obviously rather old copied from VHS), and it is very basic information. Also fom Hercus on eBay you can buy for 20 the 260 Lathe spare parts manual. And they also sell a 260 Lathe maintenance manual, as 24 fotocopy pages. It shows in many sectional cut drawings how the key components are assembled (extremely helpful as it shows where not so obvious pins or setscrews may hide), there are even plans to make a spindle puller tool, there is some text on how to replace parts, and an electrical wiring. I think Hercus does from time to time list these items on ebay, but you can certainly call them and ask to send directly. Highly recommended is also a copy of the Hercus Textbook of Turning. There is also a department of the army technical manual (the US army that is) with lots of info including detailed parts lists and maintenance instructions for the Southbend 9 lathes. I found it whilst researching the internet for free download, forgot where exactly. Some later Australian built 260s were even sold in the USA by Southbend itself as the South Bend GS26 Bench Top Lathe, 10 Belt Drive, apparently only during a short time when they could not meet domestic demand. I found a GS26 brochure on the net, and it looks indeed exactly like a long bed 260 but on a different stand. Chris. Hercus 260 Metal Lathe Manuals If YouI have pdf versions of the 260 spare parts and maintenance manuals if you want me to email them to you. I also have the 1970 version of the Hercus Textbook Of Turning in PDF. Hey Jack, Ive recently acquired a Hercus 260 from a family member but unfortunately it has no paperwork to go with it. If you still have the pdf copy of the maintenance manual it would be much appreciated if you could email it to email protected and hopefully I can begin getting this thing back in action. Cheers.
