Lathe Refurbishment

[the bearParticipant @thebear]

I was beginning to think I'd never get this complete, finished making last ball handle and adjusting jib strips to this neglected project today

Lockdown: just finished strip down refurb and paint of Harri 11″ took 3 years!

Looks cracking! Well done for seeing it through.

Very nice to see, looks like you've made a good job of a very worthwhile project and ended up with a very nice lathe, persistence pays off.

At least a few good things have come out of the present situation.

Well done

Greetings, I have the identical Harrison model, and a very useful machine it is too.

Only modification I did was to convert it to single phase inverter drive, which gave me speed control, and I removed the reverser handle, using the supplied reverse switch instead.

I also have put a DRO on the cross slide, thinking about installing it on the other axis.

Do you have a handbook?

Regards

Brian

Nice job. That looks like the exact model of Harrison lathe that I used at school back in the 70s. There were two other quite nice Boxford lathes but the Harrison was my favourite.
