Dunno about Ragans, but Raglans were very good indeed, and the Littlejohn or 5" models are very usable. There were also basic training lathes without screwcutting and they produced a nice little mill as well.
There are some gear train details on the Raglans on our web pages if anyone wants to print them out:
