I have just got a replacement for our Harrison 11" swing lathe, so it's up for sale. Those Harrisons are absolutely bombproof: they were supplied to schools by their thousands in the 1950's onwards. This is an older model (they went through several detail design changes over the many years they were in production) but is as solid as a rock and in full working order. It has one major advantage over most other lathes of this size: it is single phase...have been running it on a 13Amp plug ever since we had it. Distance between centres is close to 2ft, probably 30". Complete with all usual tooling.
