... round bar or scaffold poles to roll on.

 

[M K]

Yeah got plenty of that from my rollcage tubing stock

3 big strong mates helps too....paths arent gravel are they?

 

[M K]

Well that's was a mission I'm not gonna lie lol

Loading and moving from the sellers end was hard hard hard work

Unloading into my storage container was easy and about 3 hours quicker

Anyway, the biggest nightmare was after buying lifting straps and d rings and proper rated lifting eyes it turns out this particular M300 has no Lifting eye thread at all !!! And that's what made everything hard work

Anyway lathe is home and picked up a load more tools and stock, was really hoping the fixed steady would be in there somewhere but maybe he never had one as the garage we emptied and no such luck

Pictures in no particular order

No pictures of move or it loading etc as it rained non stop all day typically

Thanks
Marc

Ps - can anybody tell me how to add pictures below a paragraph rather then them being all added to the top of the post?

Well done
Some nice bits & pieces there
Proper oil gun as well

 

[Shox Dr]

What sort of motor is on it? Clutched?

 

[M K]

Few more pics

There lots of home cut tool steel

A tapping head

Die chaser sets that are all new

Loads of drills again

Scribe of some sort on a block that looks to match bed v ways

Original rocker tool post with tools and large boring bar etc and lots more

 

[M K]

Yeah 240v clutch fitted but not sure if at factory or by someone else?

 

[Shox Dr]

I think you need to change your name to Dick Turpin



I'd forgotten it was 1ph. I don't belive they have the torque, or run at 2500rpm.

There's a motor on eb at the mo, bit steep though

I have some amazing blueprints and paperwork all original

 

[M K]

All dated 1974

Original binder manual not a copy

Harrison blue prints for every part of the lathe pretty much

Original receipt for lathe

Some brochures for things that are sadly not with the lathe anymore like a thread rolling head and ainjest high speed threader etc

Absolutely stink of smoke but other than the fading and folds they are almost pristine and probably very very rare

 

[M K]

Also have the original huge wiring blueprints and a copy modified to show how the single phase and clutch is wired up

 

[Shox Dr]

How much did it cost

 

[M K]

 

[M K]

Some more pics of plans etc

 

[M K]

And more lol

 

[M K]

And the original tolerance sheet from when the lathe was originally made and then checked for accuracy

 

[M K]

Costing for the lathe new in 1974

 

[Shox Dr]

Ace. In 74 that would have been a wad of cash to drop on a hobby
