My M300 suddenly stopped this morning. There is power to the box, the main fuse is good, but nothing works. The emergency cutoff does nothing, etc. I was...

I hate being the moron, but in this case I am a big moron. I would love to try and reset the overloads on the motor starter, but I have no idea where this type...
You should have 3 fuses at the top left of the box. Below these there are two motor starters, one for forward and one for reverse. Directly to the right of...
I got it going. Thank you all that answered. I think my circuit breaker is on the lower right - when I pushed that (sort of a) button, it clicked and then I...
I've bought an M250 off the Bay and overall I'm pretty pleased with it. But I have a question. And please bare with me here, I'm new to this. When the top...
Please, can anyone confirm what type of change gears the M250 uses. By that I mean are they imperial ie DP or metric ie Module? The measurements of outside...
Hi Pete This doesn’t seem to be that rare a problem. My M280 (M250 with CNC) also suffers from the scribed line being about half a degree out, and I know of ...
Hi Nigel, I can confirm that M250 change gears are Mod 1.5. And thanks for confirming that M300 ones are not the same :-( I have a project under way to make...
Thanks Mark, Very useful info. I'll check the tailstock tonight. One of the reasons I bought the lathe was for mitering bicycle tubing. I intend to make a...

Is the keyway referred to here actually a spline? Is a broach available, that can cut this Harrison spline? Or a custom one needed? Thanks, Jordan ... Cutting...
Hi Jordan, To do it properly requires a custom broach. However a good approximation can be acheived by using a 1/4" keyway broach. 1) Make a bush to fit the...
Hi, my names Paul and i'm soon to be the owner of a 1955 Harrison L5 I've basically got to strip the machine to get it out of its current location and to the...

the L5 bed is bedded in to the cabinet at the factory with some kind of resin filler stuff, like hard car body filler. The bedding of the bed to the cabinet is...

Hiya, Others have better advice than I could give on moving the machine so I'll defer to them on that. Metric screwcutting on an imperial L5 is relatively...
Thanks Chris, I've saved your method, and might be able to make use of it if I can't find the missing gears for my M300. Anyone have spare 56 and 84 tooth...
I hate to say this Paul, but if I were you I wouldn't bother. I know that's not what you want to hear, but honestly, it's hard to imagine a worse located L5...
