Lathe, just testing the water

Post by rodp » 13 Jan 2013, 16:17

I'm sorting / clearing out the workshop and I may possibly be selling this lathe to upgrade, really want to know what it's worth. Try not to look at all the junk on the table :lol:

Can't remember the name but I seem to remember it was made by Harrison as their home engineering range. It's about 2' between centres (I can confirm all this later). There's a range of gears with it I assume for screw cutting (?). There's an idler pulley system to change speeds and it has the ultra low back gears.
It's an old lathe and although all works there's a bit of play in just about everything, you just work around it.
There's no cracks that I've ever seen and it's a good solid machine (not a bit of pressed tin)

There is no motor with it but I imagine £25 tops on ebay should sort that.

I want to go larger, I'll solve the problem of getting a bigger one through the house to the workshop later :lol:

Any ideas / offers gents ?

Well aside from scrap value. I will hazard a guess of £350.
