- Join me in this Video where I'll be servicing the Harrison M300 Lathe before I start to use this beast in the Workshop.
As this Lathe is very New to me I want to be sure everything is good before putting it to good use. So in this video I will show you how to :
Change the Apron oil
Change the headstock oil
Change the gearbox oil
Replace the Drive V belts
Service and clean the 3 jaw chuck

Thank you for making this video which was very clear. However it would have been useful to have been told what oils you used, and the type description of the belts. Also most M300s have a suds splashback which blocks access to the belts, so getting past that would be helpful knowledge!
Would be more useful if it had the oil types and viscosity you used but nice lathe
Hi Joe. Congratulations on your new to you lathe. Nothing like getting that first service out of the way to be able to start enjoying the machine. Looks and sounds to be in fair shape. Hope you get lots of use from it. Merry Christmas to you and your family.
Take care,
Steve.
Hi Steve yeah first impressions since it’s service seems great just trying to get a four jaw Chuck sorted ready for next years first project. Anyways have a good Christmas to you and the family too all the best.
Hi, you never mentioned what oils / grades you used. Quite a few of the recommended oils for the older M300s are not available now.
I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a but envious of the way oiling. Can't wait to see next years project. Have a good holiday mate.
Hey dude, yeah it is a great feature of this lathe and the more I’m using it the more features I’m finding. All the best down there look forward to your next video merry Christmas and a happy new year.
Very nice machine & well made, will be good to see it in use , well deserved .
Thanks RR, new year new projects stay tuned.
Nice bit of maintenance Joe, I am not familiar with Harrison lathes, but it seems very solid and looks like it will really step up your machining to another level. Have a nice Christmas and cheers mate!
Hi Howder yeah so far so good seems like a very sturdy machine and well capable of turning so metal. Have a good Christmas too. All the best
What do you use for the leadscrew? Do you have the details of the manufacturer's recommendation on the type of oils to use?
Happy Christmas Joe. All the best
Happy Christmas to you too Ricky.
Joe just a suggestion next time you change out oil. Gule a magnet to the drain plug to help pull metal out of the oil. this is something our maintenance department did on all machines on the first service.
Great tip that Johnny I didn’t really think about it when I was draining it out but makes complete sense.
Hi joe where did u get the oil and what was the oil u got for it I’ve got a Harrison m 300 to I going to do oil change would be great if u could help thanks 😊
Hi Craig so I got the following oil off of eBay which is the modern day alternative of what is needed for the M300
Westway Lubricants machine oil iso 220 replaced the shell Vitrea 72 and same brand hydraulic oil iso 68 replaced the Castrol aws68. Hope that helps
Hi Joe. Need help and advice on the M300. Are you able to do a Zoom call at your convenience?
Hi Joe, do you have any videos of you repainting the lathe?
Hi Bas I’m afraid I don’t it was a spur of the moment decision when I had some free time.
@@MachiningwithJoe Th\ank you. I have the same lathe which I am restoring. Just wondering how far I have to go taking it apart before painting it. It would be wonderful if you had a video on taking out and reinstalling the gap bed if that’s something you’ve done before.
Hi What are you using to get 3 phase power?
Hi Jim so the lathe is powered for a Transwave inverter.
