Hi
looking for info about my Harrison 12"swing l6 lathe,
i am looking into thread cutting on it but unless i'm missing something there's no reverse on the chuck to drive the feed work back to the start to do a second cut, you can reverse the lead screw but will that not then put it out of sink with the chuck as it will not be reversing?
i need to re wire the motor as when i got it the motor is wired straight into the plug!! I've been looking into putting a speed controller on the motor to make it easier for thread cutting and could reverse the motor to solve the prob but dose any one know if it will damage the gear box on the lathe?
