Herbert No10 Mill – details

[EmgeeParticipant @emgee]

Another Herbert vertical mill model 0V, informed by the machine seller the taper was an R0, smaller than R8 but same design including the anti rotation pin.

That looks like a nice machine. So Herberts went their own way with tapers more than once ! They certainly knew what they were doing, must have had good reason. The single slot in the table is sometimes a challenge!

Hi Pete

After looking at your picture it looks like the casting which holds the handle is broken – the section where the oil nipple sits – looks like an easy fix – can you send me a picture of the underneath of that section.

I PM'd you my email address.

Thanks

Steve

Is that yours? I have one of those though mine has a 3-slotted table. I use R8 tooling in mine – John Stevenson adapted the spindle for me.

Sold it around 10 years ago to someone who lived in North London so he may be a ME club member somewhere.

I used it for about 8 years and found it very versatile, loads of clearance table to spindle and a huge spindle with slow downfeed and/or lever operated with adjustable graduated depth stop. Head tilted left and right 0-90, the motor was 3 phase 2HP 415v so I ran it from a rotary converter.

The single Tee slot was OK except for securing a Taylor Hobson tilting rotary 6" table, for that I drilled and tapped the table at the points required, holes blanked off with threaded brass plugs when not used.

Fitted a BW DRO to the table and used it for both X and Y axis moves, had a single axis BW unit on the Z axis so any backlash on the screws wasn't a problem, except of course for climb milling.

Spindle speed changes were by belt changing but I used it at the high speed setting for almost all work.
Power feed to the table was from a separate gearbox but was not operational on my machine, suds tank and pump fitted and working in the hollow base of the machine.
