[PROJECT] My new scrap lathe , Colchester Student

[RobWilson]

Evening Lads  



I thought I would bring my project lathe home from work were its been in storage , I got it for scrap ,had to fork out a hole 100 notes   , any way Its a round head Colchester Student with power feed problems   , came with TTA , unused Pratt 4 jaw chuck , face plate , travelling steady , Pratt 3 jaw and some other bits and bobs . 

So today was spent moving it , I fit into the van no bother , well I did have to take a fair bit of  kit out ,but it went in . 



Putting it in was no bother , getting it out took a bit more effort  :dremel:

Some cribbing ,jacks and chains  :dremel:




knocked up a ground anchor .


 

Then winched here out  :med:




All good fun
