Hello folks,
I've been trying now for some time to get a Harrison vertical Mill to complement my Harrison lathe.
The horizontal ones seem to come up quite often whereas the vertical variety appear to be rarer birds.
Anyway, a vertical machine with the horizontal attachments and table power feed came up on EBay.. It also had a variety of tooling including a vice, rotary table and an Int.30 Clarkson chuck. Seemed in good condition. The reserve price was £900.
Sat watching it for a week expecting the bidding to go ballistic. It didn't and long story short I got it for the reserve, so now have my long sought after Harrison Mill.
It's 3 phase so I will have to get another inverter. The power feed is too and I believe 1/8th hp motor for that.
One slight snag is the machine is in Derby and I live in Morayshire. I don't suppose anyone would care to quote on shifting it?!
All the best from Carl.
