No, definitely not a Colchester, and probably not British at all, as they tended to put the feed handle at the back (so Z was right-hand, and X was left hand). Unlike the US practice of putting your left hand under the flow of hot swarf controlling Z. I use a Colchester Student as shown in that picture rather regularly, it's an extremely nice bit of kit. In fact every time I use it I am reminded what a hateful pile of scrap I invested a ton of money into CNC converting… I have had a quick look through a few guesses at www.lathes.co.uk, but not found any good candidates yet. -- atp If you can't fix it, you don't own it. http://www.ifixit.com/Manifesto ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
