Hi, I'm new to this group having just purchased a Harrison VS330 to replace a ten inch Rockwell in my home shop. The lathe came from a junior collage and...
I have one of the last VS330TR they made, which I bought new in 1994. I will look at that cover. Meanwhile, send an email to the guy listed on this UK site,...
Acetone doesn't touch the cover it so I assume it's not ABS. I took it to the local body shop and they are convinced it is some sort of glass filled (not mat...
My M300 cover is made with fiberglass. I have two of them, one has a large part of the cover missing caused by tipping the lathe over. When I get time I plan...
I don't know anything about the VFD control. I use a phase converter and mine works sweet. Ed ... [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]...

Ed, The hum/vibration from a rotary phase converter wears on me and I am hooked on the variable frequency, the tradoff seems to be a snappy start/reverse....
Over the last couple of months I have been converting my T280 from three to single phase and fitting a 2kW Teco VFD in a similar fashion. To give me full...
I think I have an answer to my VFD problem. I bought a TECO unit (10.5 amps for less than $200. from Dealers Electric) and unlike my other VFDs that only use...
Larry, Where can I find information on the VFD? I use a phase converter right now and it works well but I find it a bit irritating to listen to the slave...
I've been using a Teco 7.5HP single to three phase VFD on my big CNC mill for many years now and I'm thoroughly delighted with it. I'm not sure about the small...
If you're in the UK Teco's biggest dealer is a guy we call Desert Dave, he runs a store on Ebay called Drives Direct where he specialises in single to three...
I have had an M300 for a couple of years; the feed selector knob (the round one that has positions 1 - 8) was stiff, but turned. I have not had to move it for...
You make a good point, these small units are easy to hook up but I was surprised not to see niceties like strain relief for the cables, if they are used in a...
... Mark, Drives Direct also advertise in Model Engineer Workshop and Model Engineer magazines. I have an M300 which I run on 415v 3 phase AC from a 240v...
They usually mount them in a metal enclosure cabinet together with filters, isolators and other electrical bits required for the machine they drive. ...
Set the spindle to 58rpm or thereabouts and run the lathe. You should see the saddle hex drive shaft turning slowly. Now grip the bottom knob firmly with your...
There has always been a war between rotary converter people and VFD people. For machine shop kit a rotary converter often works well, I do however often come...

Hi David, I have been through this twice on lathes that I bought to rebuild. For some reason or another, the recommended oil for the gearbox gets very sticky...
My vote is with Mr. Hurst. I went through the same drill with an AA that had been sitting for several years. In-situ soaking might get some of the goo off...
It sounds like a much bigger job than it actually is. They sure work smoothly after a good cleaning, and you won't have to worry about doing damage to the...
Which M300? I have a sort of manual for a PM1325T which is like the new ones. Chris P To: harrisonlathe@yahoogroups.com From: tommykeeling@... Date:...
