Harrison M300 dismantling advice
Carriage saddle gearbox is mucky and needs cleaning internally before reassembly.
OLD NOTES
Kept as ongoing reference during the full commissioning process.
Tailstock damaged
Mended by supplier
Cracks in Tailstock. Returned to supplier
Cross Slide
Fixed by bearing replacement
This should be the replacement of a simple and cheap thrust bearing. It would be nice for the suppliers to fulfill their promise to supply a fully serviced lathe but not the end of the world.
According to the manual the thrust bearing is a AXK1226 + thrust washers is commonly available and cost about £4 a set. There are two in the cross slide and two in the compound slide.
