Very nice Mick,good to see her coming back together.
I really do like the way your control panel setup has worked out and the other subtle improvements you've done.

I've just finished screwcutting a new 8 tpi imperial single start cross slide screw for my L6. The standard screw is a 10 tpi 2 start giving 200 thou per revolution(far too coarse for my liking).
The 8 tpi gives 125 thou per revolution and the micrometer wheel I'll be using with it is nearly double the size of the original Harrison item,thus a lot easier to read.
I'll post up a thread and some photos on the subject when I get the new nut finished.....OZ.

Hi Oz ,
glad you like the look of the lathe coming back together, its slow with everything needing messed about with as it goes back on. I would like to see the post on the cross slide screw, I am hoping mine is able to be fettled by adjusting the nut a bit. Have you mad a new micrometer wheel Oz as I am thinking of making some imperial ones for this lathe , its imperial screws but metric dials at the moment so I was thinking of making collars that would go over the originals to also increase the size of the dial.
Gary,
the reason I have posted this rebuild is because I have read post others have put on the net about various topics and enjoyed and learnt from them so the more people do it the better I think so glad you are enjoying it and even better if it inspires anyone to rebuild something :thumbup:
Cheers John and Bob...............hopefully one of you will be able to smash a bottle of Brown Ale off her for the re launch soon :D
Cheers Mick
