Thanks for the info and photos of the rev counter.I'll be ordering one of those for the L6 and powering it of the 12v Lo Volt machine work light transformer fitted to my lathe.....OZ.
micktoon:
Hi Lads , got some more done with the lathe, its looking like a lathe again now , just finishing bits to fit then a good check over and adjust this that and the other, test then probably re adjust things.
This is what it looks like now, still the end covers to fit , that horrible old maroon bakalite forward reverse knob for the power feed needs replaced and the screw cutting badges still to be done and the steadies , collet chuck etc to clean and paint, coolant hose.
Not long until the first swarf hits the tray now !
Cheers Mick

Hi All, I am a newbie who has been enthused and encouraged by your projects, especially rebuilding of the Harrison L5 lathe by micktoon. The last time I used a lathe was when the Harrison L5 was virtually new, at School! ; Now retired I would like to tinker with a lathe project to this end I recently purchased an L5A from EBay with no tools. :doh: Therefore I am looking for basically everything. I thought I’d start with the metric translation gears. Unfortunately they are becoming rarer than hens teeth. I found someone who will cut some for me in cast iron at a reasonable price, cheaper than advertised. If one of you can help; there are some measurements I would like to know about the translation gears: especially the 127T its diameter external and internal (base of the teeth) similarly Nos. 40, 60, and 63. I understand that they are 3/4" wide 7/8” bore, the teeth are 14DP x 20 pa, If one of you guys has them to hand can you measure the diameters for me please. :nrocks:
