229 forum posts 40 photos	Greetings, I have the identical Harrison model, and a very useful machine it is too. Only modification I did was to convert it to single phase inverter drive, which gave me speed control, and I removed the reverser handle, using the supplied reverse switch instead. I also have put a DRO on the cross slide, thinking about installing it on the other axis. Do you have a handbook? Regards Brian
