Hi Further to any previous emails on the subject, I have just had an email from a rep at Harrison's (www.600lathes.com and www.harrison.com) . He spoke to...
... Bob, That's really surprising and, I stand corrected. Thanks very much for passing on your research. This ought to be passed to 'Lathes.co.uk'. If you...
Hello all 2 or 3 of you! There's a cheap L5 on ebay today: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3807709710&category=633 Early model, 1945/46? ...
Hi. Just joined the group. I'm thinking of acquiring an M300, T300 or a long-bed M250. Problem is I'm very short of room, both for siting and initial...
Just to follow up my own post with regards to the feedscrew end bracket... I suppose it's possible that the dowel pins could be pressed right through into the...
James: I'd love to see the group grow and if you could change its listing with Yahoo that might help quite a bit. I posted previously but saw no responses to...
Hello Neil, This is my first real post since purchasing an M300 recently and seeing no other comments regarding that model so far. Regarding moving the M300,...
Hi Den, thanks for your advice. Acquiring an M250/M300 is just a twinkle in my eye at the moment, but as is usually the case it will probably turn into a big...
I only found the group by accident too. Typing Harrison brings up too many groups to search through - mostly for genealogists and George Harrison fans! ...
Neil, The width without the back splash is 24" (61cm), Length (short bed) is 59" (150cm), overall height (cabinet w/o levelers) is 47" (120cm). I don't know...
Den, there's me assuming you were in the UK too :-) Obviously, machines and spares are more plentiful over here, but still not common or cheap. Have you...
All, I found the group by searching quite hard on the Yahoo! Groups master page. Various keywords - 'lathe' etc. I found a (this) group with 6 (?) members. ...
Can anyone provide a cross reference between a Harrison part # BG- 0030 to a commercial bearing? It's used on the idler shaft in the M300 headstock. ID is...
I think I've figured it out. It looks like the 2nd digit in 600 series (single row ball) bearings stands for (2) light, (3) medium, etc. The last two digits...
Hi Group Today I took the plunge and finally traded in the old Myford Super 7 for the Harrison M250. See the picture I posted in the photos section. Thi...
Hi All, I have just found this group, I have had my 12" swing L6 harrison for a long time now and though it seems to be an "imperial" machine that has been...
Hi Trev. Welcome to our (fairly quiet) group. Your imp/metric L6 may not be as odd as you think. I was looking at second-hand later Harrisons a while back...
Hi Guys, I have the same issue with my 1965 9" L5. It has metric top/cross slide dials, but when it came to ordering a tipped cutting tool from the local...
Hi Can anyone supply me with the information on the small aluminium plate which tells you at which point on the screwcutting dial to drop in the half nuts for...
Hi Tony, I'll check it tonight for you - I have the similar machine, L5 1965 model. Seamus ... __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail -...
Hello Guys, I do have a Harrison AA/VS330, which I am very happy with... Any other users here with a AA/VS330? If so, how do you like this machine? Cheers, Dan...
Hi! Group, As the founder member of the Colchester Lathe User Group, I would like to take this oppotunity and wish the new group "Good Luck and Happy turning...
Dan, I haven't come across any users of AA/VS machines. I don't have one myself but came close to buying one a while back. I did a burst of quick research into...
Hi Neil, Yes, I am in the U.S., hence the AA designation. :o) My machine is 1988,89 vintage with the variable diameter pulley arrangement. I'd be glad to post...
Hello All, I am very close to buying an M300 long bed with taper attachment. Can someone tell me where I can get a copy of a manual without losing an appendage...
I may have to move an M300 in pieces soon, as my workshop is too small/narrow/twisted to get it in in one piece. If I could break it down to three trolleyable...
Hey Neil, I don't know about tearing an M300 apart, I only have an L5 myself, but I read somewhere on lathes.co.uk that it's unwise to disturb the relationship...
