I have just bought a Hercus badged Hafco AL 330 metal lathe, machine number 16731, dated 1997. Can anyone please help as to where I can get a workshop manual for this machine.

I believe your lathe was factory identified as a CQ 6230.........and there are heaps of details and downloads online...........please reply if this is not so.......(Maker Shaoxing Tongli MTC,of Zhejang.PRC.)

For those who may look up this info.......the earlier versions of the 6230 lathe,(and many others),while appearing to have standard metric bearings ,in fact have a spindle bearing,both ends,that has a tapered outside diameter of the cup,rather than cylindrical,and seats in a taper in the casting........These are not available,and replacements must be made ,(taper ground),or the casting reworked....I do not know when the change to standard bearings occurred.
