Hello everyone,
I don't know if i've got this in the right place but i'm new to the forum. I've got this lathe which i think is a Harrison l5 11". The problem is that there seams to be a lot of slop in the cross feed you can more the handwheel about 0.4mm on the dial before the tool post moves and the small slide wheel is the same but less. And if you grab the toolpost and move it you can feel that theres play there. Apart from that it's fine but i find it hard to make anything to a presise size. I don't even know if it can be adjusted thanks in advance if anyone can help.
