Harrison M250 Lathe Manual Cnc

Harrison M250 lathe email: HARRISON M Series Lathes Instruction & Parts Books for most Harrison lathes The Harrison M Series lathes have been in production for many years and considerable numbers of the smaller and very popular models, the M250 and M300, are now in the hands of enthusiastic amateurs and second-user professionals. The digits following the M indicate, in all cases, the swing in millimetres, half the swing being the 'throw', more usefully described as the centre height.

The range has been the subject of continuous development and, by the mid 1990s, consisted of the established and largely unchanged M300 model together with the, and. By the late 1990s the last three machines became, with alterations to centre height, bed length and specification the M390, M460 and M550 - and two newer, larger machines were introduced (though with a short production life), the M600 and M750. Today the range continues in production but fitted with variable-speed drive (though the M300 continues to be available as a geared-head model) with models numbers of: V350, V390, V460 and V550. Whilst these articles cover the older, conventionally driven M Series lathes they do not concern the up-to-date models; an article about those will have to wait until they become, in some years' time, cheap enough to be accessible to the keener model and experimental engineer.

M250 Lathe Now out of production, the M250 of 145 mm (5.7') centre height was designed to appeal to schools, training establishments, repair shops and those needing a strong, properly-built but compact lathe for light production work. Never as popular in the educational market as the more robust M300, as a second-hand machine it has enormous appeal to the more enthusiastic home user and hence demand usually outstrips supply with consequently high prices - but of course an excellent investment potential and an easy resale. It was available with a choice of either 500 mm or 750 mm (20' or 30') between-centres and had an induction-hardened bed as standard - but lacked the option of a detachable gap; interestingly, the width of the bed, at 190 mm over the ways, was greater than the centre height, a design feature that many years ago would only have been considered necessary for a lathe built to 'toolroom' standards. Early models had 9 speeds from 40 to 1500 rpm (or, optionally, 80 to 3000) whilst the later (1998 on, approximately) M250 ran from 52 to 2000 rpm - the electric motor used on the slower model was 0.9 kW, with a 1.3 kW employed to drive the two faster machines. Fitted with a hardened and ground No.

3 D1 Camlock nose, the 35 mm (1.3') bore spindle ran in Gamet Super-precision bearings with the hardened headstock gears lubricated by oil splash. On post 1989 machines the headstock had the same spindle nose as used in the Colchester Bantam Mk. 4.5 Morse taper into which fitted a hardened adapter sleeve to take it down to 3 Morse. The handbook and catalogue both contain incorrect information about this fitting stating, variously, 4 Morse and 5 Morse for the spindle bore.

I consider the M350 the best all around manual lathe that Harrison ever made. The AA is a toolroom lathe and isn't a half bad one, but certainly not the best one ever made. The M250 is a hobby/model shop size machine. Comparing it to a EE is like comparing a 9' Southbend to a EE. Not the same thing and was never intended to be. I never much cared for the M250, but it would be a nifty machine.

Some lathes have been found fitted with a useful spindle brake - an option not mentioned in all catalogues. Available to cut either metric or English pitches, the screwcutting gearbox was available (at some considerable cost) with sets of conversion changewheels to change either to the other.

Or 33 metric pitches from 0.25 to 8 mm - were fitted with an oil supply circulated by splash from the lower gears dipping into the lubricant and flinging it around. Fitted with European Safety-Neurosis, full-circle smooth-faced handwheels, the carriage could be driven by either a fully guarded, 25 mm diameter leadscrew (in 6 mm or 4 t.p.i. Pitch) or a power-shaft; however, the leadscrew was intended to be used exclusively for screwcutting whilst the torque-limiter protected power-shaft provided the normal sliding and surfacing feeds. The torque limiter is normally a reliable unit but, if dismantled and the stack of Bellville spring washers assembled incorrectly, it can give trouble.
