making Colchester Lathes


 


 

A lot labor in just casting.?

Dave?


 

I think many on this list already know this, but when they say a "5 inch" lathe in the video that refers to the radius that will clear the bed.? Some parts of the world use radius.? Others, such as in the U.S., use diameter.? So, the mini lathe might be 7 inch swing (diameter) or 3 1/2 inch swing (radius) depending on where you are.

I have owned Colchester Lathes in past.
They very good lathe.
The only problem I found was the 80¡ã bedway harder to make tooling.??

Dave?


 

A lot of care! Wish I had one of these instead of a mini-lathe!
