About a month ago I bought a Harrison mill from off the Lathes website, I always regretted parting with my old Steinel horizontal when we moved a few years ago, and this was a similar size , not too far away and came with a vertical head. I had to strip it partially to move it from the workshop it had been in for many years, as I removed the coolant pipe assembly was surprised to find one of the screws had been cut short and was holding on by only a few threads, and the hole which would have been drilled through the wall of the gearbox seemed very shallow. As it is an ex college machine seeminly had little use work has been confined to fitting inverters, cleaning ,oiling and generally giving it a going over. Decided to reverse My original descision not to take the gear covers off as something was nagging about the shortened screw, imagine my horror when sticking into the gearbox through the offending hole was about 2″ of broken drill, even more horrific was that when touched by the end of a screwdriver the drill fell into the gearbox, bouncing off the gears! Just imagine if this had happened under power and the drill had caught between a couple of gear teeth, on inspection the hole was only tapped a couple of threads so I believe the drill has been sitting in the machine waiting to create havoc since the late 70’s. I wonder if it was an inept apprentice, disgruntled fitter or someone who just couldn’t be bothered who is the culprit, shame on you wherever you are!
