Hi Ray,

Welcome to the forum.

Welcome to the nuthouse from another old codger retired from industry. Raglan is a nice machine for the home shop. A step up from my old Myford ML7. Enjoy the learning curve of seemingly doing everything with almost nothing at home compared with the luxury of industry.

Welcome to the forum. a nice machine I should have bought one, as I thought the bed idea was good.

Some time ago a friend gave me the details of a Ragland drive belt, he said, there is some confusion on the make and type of belts for a Ragland. So I’m passing the word around

Roulunos Rolex 22H7025DR433 is the one. Hopefully your is all OK. John

Have you looked on lathes.co.uk under Raglan?

Also pretty sure there are some Raglan groups on Facebook and or groups.io that would have such info in their files section.

Welcome!

Don’t own one, but having had dealings with one belonging to a friend (Made a 4 way tool post for it to go on the Top Slide), so have a lot of respect for the machine.
