The lathe is now palletised and awaiting collection.
Denis.
Just one warning - don't underestimate the weight of that lathe! I know it's regarded as a small lathe, but you'll need 2 people to
move it around safely, without risking a hernia. It will also help you to avoid damage to the handles & stuff hanging off the machine, as
you'll have more control.

are either flat or V belt drive you just need the right pulley for the motor.
I bought my Harrison from Durham New College.. it had a 400v 3 phase motor. I bought a 3hp 240v thing out of Machine Mart for it, works no problem.. I
bought a BIG 3 phase compressor, same motor on it now.. then I built a fierce saw bench, same 3hp motor..
All 3 big bits of kit work fine plugged into a 16 amp socket..
Just to add, my Harrison weighs 650Kg....

Hi again Alex ,I hope the lathe arrived safely, please be careful moving it as they are a bit top heavy, I managed to get it out of the workshop using
a sack barrow and two strong lads.
Regards Denis.
