A few weeks ago I came upon this site. One of the first things I recommend to those who join the Yahoo Brown & Sharpe site, which I moderate, are to look thru...
Nice story Ron, and very nice lathe. I own the Harrison AA, which it the same lathe. Mine is 1988/89 vintage, in great shape. I bought it from a rigger in RI. ...

matt I got a sheet of gasket material and made one for my L-6. It is not a difficult job but I would suggest that you get a set of gasket hole punches to make...

Mark The other advantage of SAE 90 is that it does not drain off the gear surfaces as quickly leaving exposed bare metal to corrode. It is pretty sticky and...
Keep an eye on ebay, they crop up there quite often in the UK, they don't get very much interest so prices are good. I've been looking for steadies for my M280...
