Grumpy, I have not commented on the bearings as I just dont know, I do know the thread that Gadge put up is about the Hercus 9, an earlier Model than the 260, I thought they had one white and one taper, but like I said i'm not sure, I will get there eventially, I did buy a new .75Kw 1hp 3 phase motor for it.

and a 1.5Kw 2hp VFD

I will have to have the original 2 speed motor pully bored out to 19mm and 6mm keyway slot to suit the new motor but thats no biggy.


If you dont make a mess you aint making anything.
