Wanted - hercus toolpost set screw
Hello,
Wanted:
Does anyone have 1 spare set screw for the Hercus 4 way toolpost?
Happy to cover costs.
Or know where I can get 1 from?
Think it is the 3/8"square head, 5/16BSW thread version
I managed to break 1 when trying to remove it
Starting to restoe a 1962 Hercus model A lathe
Thanks
Michael

Do a search for Hercus parts,otherwise search for Square heade set screw,you will more than likely find that a 5/16" BSW sq hd set screw will have a 5/16" head rather than the Hercus special 3/8" head size.

Michael,
If you can't source a single screw, you can buy a set here:

The screws with the 3/8 heads are more expensive:

Thanks for all the comments.
I have been given a set of bolts with the smaller head very much appriciated
I will keep a look out for 1 bolt with the larger head as got the spanner that matches or I will find a suitable spanner.
The Lathe I have got has no tooling at all, was sitting on a rubbish tip for at leat 2 years, lucky it dont rain that often here, it will clean up quite easy, have already got the motor back working like new, kicked out the wasp nests and other dirt, a good coat of paint and new bearings have worked wonders Found what I think is the reason it got put on te tip, one of the FWD REV gears had a few teath stripped, now got a new FWS REV assembly ready to fit.
Any tips on what tools to get
Regards
Michael
