Colchester Student 6″ Gap Bed Gear Head Screw Cutting Metal Centre Lathe 3 Phase

Description

Ostia Tools offer for sale this Colchester Student Roundhead 6″ Lathe 

3 Phase

Imperial graduations

Sold in an as seen condition due to there being a few minor issues which are:

The lathe has spent most of its life without the gap bed piece being installed which has meant that the leading edge of the bed is slightly worn but the gap bed piece is in much better condition making there a noticeable section between the two parts. 

It is fitted with a Boxford tool post on a riser block but this means the lathe can only take 16mm tooling when it should be able to take larger tooling. Ideally it would need a larger tool post fitted. 

It is missing the 25T, 30t, 80t and 100t from the set of change gears. 

It has spent its whole life in a school so relatively its in decent condition but its quite an old machine and it does show. 

The machine is supplied with:

3 jaw chuck but only the jaws fitted, not the external gripping set. 

Faceplate

4 jaw independent chuck

Drive plate

Fixed and travelling steady.

Set of change gears missing the 4 listed above

C Spanner for changing the chuck

Drill chuck for tailstock

This model does not have the coolant pump fitted.
