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 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.

Inspections

The superusers regularly inspect the machine for signs of wear and tear, along with keeping the oil levels topped up.
