Harrison M300

Hi



I have a Harrison M300 lathe in my garage.



Having serious problems with the Feed gears ("RST", "UVW", "XYZ"); some do not engage. Does anyone have experience this ?


While trying to see if I could do anything, I took off the knob attempting to take out the spindle. The ball end of my alen key snapped off in the head of one of the bolts. I do not want to drill it out, but all my efforts to get the broken piece out have failed.


Can anyone advise me ?



I am in the Reading area (RG2 8JP)


cheers


On my M300 I don't have much trouble with the selector wheel you mention but do have to rock the chuck occasionally to get the 1 - 8 selector wheel to slot in.

Could you clarify which bolt has the broken allen key end in it as you said you had the knob off.
