Hi Rob
Great buy you have there, are you thinking of casting the worm wheel blank?
Looks a very interesting project, good luck, will be watching as things materialize.
Cheers David

Hi rob. Mines a Churchill redman 7-CM. can't find any info about it anywhere :( other than its about a 1937 vintage. Still works well other than being very noisy (straight cut gears )

Hi Rob,
Welcome to the Colly real world, I've looked for bits for mine in the past, but people seem to think Colchester = Boeing 747 prices.
The machines themselves are very accurate, robust and adaptable, I wouldn't want owt else.
I've made a few mods to mine, just wish I could afford a DRO, my lad's got it on his Bantam 800.
So good wishes for this project Rob.

You got it the wrong way round Rob, you don't need less machines, you need MORE workshop!
Good luck with it, and keep the posts coming. I agree with the above comments on buying from the Colchester spares specialists, they are a bit toppy, but if you can find someone breaking a Colchester, you are on a much better deal.
