The Harrison M300 lathe is a metalworking lathe which we have owned for several years.
It has a fairly rigorous induction, which requires less experienced lathe users to be supervised for a while before they can use the machine unsupervised.
Maintenance and Inspection
Regular Maintenance
- Oil levels should be checked and oil should be added to each oiling point for every day of use.
- All swarf and debris must be cleaned up at the end of each session.
- All coolant must be cleaned off the ways
- All tooling must be put away in its designated place at the end of each session.
- The lathe bench must remain clean and tidy at all times.
- All lathe tools must be kept sharp - please report if we are low on tooling, or
- Keep the lathe and tooling clean using blue tissue roll and a brush.
Hack The Space/Superuser inspection
- General lathe clean - Remove any remaining swarf, coolant residue, etc
- Check tailstock alignment
- Check oil levels - headstock, gearbox and apron
- Oil all oil points
- Check stock of tooling and inserts
General notes
The lathe takes ISO68 slideway oil in the headstock, apron and all oil points. This is kept near the lathe in a large bottle, along with the small oil cans.
The gearbox requires gear box oil CHECK VISCOSITY IN MANUAL.
