Manual

[vk3jd]

Hi guys,
Recently I was given a Herless ssb-15bhk lathe.
It belonged to a friends Father, he was a tool maker who passed away, the story I ended up with the lathe.
Its been 25 years since running a workshop and I am some what rusty, and I am trying to locate a manual for this old machine, which is in excellent condition.
If anyone can help with a manual copy I would be happy to pay for coping cost and postage.
Best regards from Port Melbourne. John Couch.

I have collected this information for many years and have found the information they contain to be priceless in using and setting up the machines properly. I believe this manual will be a valuable resource of knowledge that will provide a lot of helpful information that is often hard to find.

Never heard of a Herless, also not on Tony's website lathes.uk so perhaps a photo might help determine the lineage or if it's a re-badged machine.

According to the web, Herless was a reseller of Taiwanese equipment in Australia. As @cgrutt linked, rumored to be a Shun Shin made machine.

You can save them some ebay fees by buying direct

Thank you guys, Herless is now owned by another, and the lathe was made by shun shin, a lovely piece of equipment.
I had hoped to pick up a copy locally, but if all else fails I will go down that path.
Many thanks
John
