Several of the Colchester variants with gap bed have the handwheel on the Right and that would be a tough ergonomic pill to swallow for me. The one caveat is that all my life I've run manual lathes with the carriage handwheel on the left. You didn't list the weight but in general a heavier machine is better. The colchester would be the one I'd look at first. Since both lathes are not near by, what lathe would you go look at first ( and if its ok take home with you) ? Looks in decent used shape (professional use) Metric and imperial gearbox, without fiddlingĬomes with quick-change collet holder and collets Has cooling, and detachable tray for cleaning Metric gearbox, for imperial you need a changewheel, not included ![]() You guys have experience with one of these models? or recommendations?īoth have 11" nominal swing and have 30" between centers, d1.3 camlock nose with 35mm bore and mt3 spindle I found a colchester bantam 2000 ( in US branded as harrison m250) and a boxford industrial 11.30 ( clausing in the US)
