Hello Everyone.

I'm new to tool making, and lathe work. I've just bought a Harrison 155 lathe.

My background is electrical engineering and programming, but i have started to do the odd bit of machining, so I'm here to hopefully learn some new skills.

Scott.

Hi Scott.

Welcome to the Forum.

Don't know the Harrison, but am sure that others on here will offer help and advice for your questions about the machine, and how to overcome any problems.

There will always be advice available for any problems with tooling and operating methods

(Beware of getting me on my hobby horses! ).
