RE: Latest Delivery - pepi - 11-09-2016
ordered this Monday, Amozon got it here today, never spotted or heard the drone. They do pretty well pice and delivery wise...
Anyone have one, it is auto off only correct, the english instruction had no mention of it.

I have a slightly older one of those and it is indeed auto shutoff only.

I picked up a second T2 Tool post to replace the ye oldie 4 way on the Student Lathe .

This way bought Colchester lathes can share the same tooling .
Cheers Rob

Nice score Rob but I think you will actually need to take the old one off first. Mounting the Dickson toolpost behind it won't be of much benefit.

I have a vague and dim recollection that when I took the four way off one of my Colchester Students many years ago to fit a Dickson, the spigot for the four way was part of the casting of the top slide. Rather than wreck it I made a new top slide.

Got to ask Andrew , why would anyone ever want to put a ye oldie 4 way tool post back on , did you ? I bet the old top slide is just sitting in a draw some where just taking up space .
Mine will just be modified to take the Dickson tool post . Saving time,space and materials

The four way has a lot more rigidity than the Dickson which is quite a cantelever

Well yes , a lantern tool post is even stiffer again . All the machine shops I have been in only the larges lathes still use an old style shim up tool post .
So did yours ever go back on ?
