All you have to do is make room for it , is the sparky bits compatible or are you going the VFD route
Have fun but do look after Debs just keep ticking off the chemo sessions soon it will be half way then the numbers look a lot better that's the way we did it

I know you said you were looking for a bigger lathe, how much bigger than the boxford is this in real terms?
You gonna do some videos of its installation John?
Would make some interesting viewing in my opinion.

It has a fair bit more capacity than the Boxford (diameter wise) about the same distance between centres
No drive belt to slip
Be plenty of vids to come
Be a short clip in this evenings night cap

NormanV:
If you find that it is too big for your space I am sure that I could fit it in here.

Nice one John I bet its a 3HP motor I've got my L6 running through a phase inverter it make it easier to use
4 Jaw Pratt chuck nice
Manxmodder:
Nice one John, you'll not regret buying that. My L6 came out of a training college similarly well equipped with faceplates, Pratt 3 and 4 jaw chucks,multisize collets etc.
I might one day consider adding a longer bed lathe to my collection,like a DS&G, but I wouldn't part with the Harrison....OZ.
