Hello Guys, I unfortunately purchased one of these bellows gaskets from REM sales. It did bring tears to my eyes at a price of $103.. inc shipping.. Foolish...
Dan, I bought one too. Is yours holding? The original had a steel spring type hose "clamp" to secure it to the shaft but REMs does not. I've sent multiple...
Ah, I see where you are now Den. I was looking at the later M300 parts list, which doesn't have a gasket in that area. I'd assumed there'd been no changes to...
Hi Neil, That's interesting, those are the changes I would have made if re-designing the apron. If this seal continues to leak I may make my own out of very...
Den, have you thought about using the 'teat' from a baby's feeding bottle. They come in various shapes/sizes and you might just be able to snip the end off and...
Beautiful machine, have the constables (is that right for police the UK??) caught you yet ;-) Interesting that they also switched to way lube for the apron. I...
Hi to all, I recently bought a 12" Harrison lathe on EBay and have been putting it to good use. The chuck is worn and I want to replace it, I don't have a...
Eric, Check out www.lathes.co.uk as it has much information. You should be able to determine what model your machine is and from there, the type of spindle it...
Eric, your "12 inch" swing implies an earlier Harrison model, as later ones were 13 inch swing. That means you're unlikely to have a 3-pin camlock mounting,...
My VS330 lathe came without the rear splash shield. I will be moving to a new house with nice white garage walls. To keep the peace, I am thinking about having...
Gerry, I've added an extra pic in "Varispeed Harrisons" that shows the guard from behind the motor - might help in fabricating that end. It's on a later VS330...
just bought the "doall" version of the m250 would like any tech info drawings/manuals etc- any info would be great already tried doall and lathe.co.uk the m250...
Hi. A number of Harrison lathes have been copied in the Far East in recent years and now appear as imports at dealers like Doall etc. I'm not familiar with the...
... I can't speak to the machine in question, but Doall indeed did rebadge authentic Harrison lathes and sell them as there own. I have a M300 out in the shop...
My mistake. I'd mixed Doall up with the usual Far East import specialists - we don't hear much of Doall in the UK, except perhaps via woodworking machinery. I...
Im having is rebuilt buy the guys machine shop I got it from- all the parts are there - but would like detailed specs on the entire machine - gears bearings...
One other possible source of info might be Clausing. I have a machining textbook which shows a Clausing badged M250 that appears to be identical to the real...
Hi All, A while back there was a discussion on where and how to get new name and operational plates for these mills. Has anyone done anything? Let me know how...
My M300 has a full-length cover over the leadscrew. Just taken it off to clean underneath and noticed that the leadscrew seems to have precious little lube of...
Hi All This the second attempt at posting this message so I aplogise if it comes through twice when I finished. I have posted a photo in the photo section...
Hi Neil, Hope you are having fun with that new machine :) This group has been quiet so I'll inject my $0.02 (£0.04 ??) here. My M300 has the exposed...

Hi Ian Many thanks for your prompt reply, you basical confirmed exactly what I had worked out from the Lathe.co site. The head stock casing is certainly Mk 2 ...
Hi Den, I'm still doing more polishing and admiring that actual turning ;-) Mostly because the rest of my workshop equipment is being rebuilt at the same time...
