Hi, I've just bought a Harrison 155 lathe, is fine apart from the treading gears/swicthes.

The don't seem to mesh correctly and the switches seem very light, and at times very tight.

I was wondering if anyone knows of a place I could get a manual, or drawings of the lathe. Or any information on the lathe at all.

Unfortunately I didn't get anything with it, the previous owner didn't have anything.

Any help would be hugely appreciated.

Many thanks

Scott.

Hi Scott,

Congratulations with your "new" lathe. I don't know if you have already found them, but there are a few Youtube videos here and here, and you may be able to buy a manual from lathes.co.uk.

Seems your model has been discussed here.

Thor
