The belt length here is 3440mm, but i would run a tape around first to check. Over any of my pulleys with the tape at a stretch it reads 3500 or so.
I actually stumbled across the invoice from the belt yesterday, it cost me about $70.

Having had the drill apart and seen what it is made off...... What do you think it is worth both in $$ and useability. What do you think is the going rate for one??

I think what i paid was fair, $450 i think? Mine, although dirty, was 99% complete (1 broken oiler) and only had 2 minor marks in the table from careless operators.
It is a little slow, but otherwise more than capable and very nice to use. The counterbalance on the quill does not make it return like on a normal drill press, but rather makes it weightless, giving it a surprising amount of feel. The only thing i have found is it has 2 speeds, flat out or flat out and in back gear....

Taper pins
Hi Ew,
After sometime being consumed with other projects I've just about finished restoring my Hercus Drill. The only problem is I have a broken taper pin that is placed in the handle of the rising table. I was wondering if you happen to have any spare pins that you'd be keen to sell? Also, what oil or grease did you use throughout? I've read other posts regarding Hercus lathes, but curious what to use for the drill?
Regards,
Raymond
