Unboxing and fitting the new tail stock including the kiss test and the the difference between the 2 Tip on quick releasing the original revolving tailstock centre
Just ordered one after seeing it at Harrogate. Cost me £80 plus p&p. I really like my Harald but the tail stack has always been annoying due to it constantly getting difficult to operate efficiently. The new model is considerably better. It moves freely and ejects a centre tool easily. I believe the first model was not fit for purpose and Record should have done the decent thing and recalled the tail stocks. Whilst I was on the Harrogate stand last year and again this year there was a constant stream of Herald owners raising the same complaint about their tailstocks.
I was at Yandles Record Power roadshow a few weeks ago and I was talking to one of the Record Power people and I said the Herald was a great competitively priced lathe except for the tailstock. He turned to the latest Herald and demonstrated the tailstock upgrade. I bought one immediately and it has elevated the Herald to a new level. Excellent video, thanks.
