DGR Designs was established in 1993.  I was the spares manager for T S Harrison & Sons Ltd. and The Colchester Lathe Co. Ltd. until I retired.  Harrison was the company that manufactured the Graduate and Jubilee wood turning lathes.

The business started out of a need to help the large number of Harrison customers that owned either of these lathes.  Our scope has expanded to include spares and manuals for other  machines.

For Graduate and Jubilee owners especially but also for anyone who is interested in the history of the Graduate and Jubilee lathes there is a small potted history.
