Harrison M 300 Lathe - thoughts? Also Sears Craftsman

[tominboise]

This isn't really local to me but I could make it work since it's only 8 hours away. Any thoughts?

In the same area, roughly, is a Sears Atlas

Between the two, I'd look at the Harrison. Depending the condition, it looks to be a capable machine.

It does look like they've done something to the ON/OFF switches (Upper Left Corner in the First Picture) as there are just holes where the switches should be.

Here's the specs from Harrison. https://www.harrisonlathe.com/m300.html

Another thing to be cautious of is it looks like it maybe being stored outside.....

No personal experience with either, but the Harrison is a REAL lathe. Not in the same league at all.

I saw that myself last night. Do you think it's worth the trip? It looks like a decent lathe and the stuff I read online seemed positive for the most part.

Grazianos have an excellent reputation. I'd be checking out all 3. I'm not familiar with the Daishin Prince, but it looks to be a very good machine also.

What a baller, he listed the weight. Everyone I talk to barely know what a lathe is
