Hi Rob, I was doing a bit to the Colchester over the last few days As you are intending to do mine has been located with its back to a wall I believe theres room for the coolant tank to sit on the floor behind the front panel between the pedestals It will take a bit of reorganising of the drain from the swarf tray though !!! I'm thinking of some sort of bund tray to sit the tank and pump into ?? I made a novice mistake where I mounted the oil filter unit :doh: I had not looked at the back of the big end cover to see theres a dividing partition between the belts and the gear train :bang: I will have to drill mounting holes for a bracket in the cast iron and reposition the unit low down John |

Hi John I got the lathe moved into the workshop at the weekend and was looking at the coolant tank access problem ,and I may just transfer the rear coolant access cut out to the front of the leg ,using the rear access cover on the front . I will also have to re mount the Y axis DRO scale as it sticks straight out from the saddle . All fun and games . Cheers Rob |

On my Master 2500 when it was against the wall at my last place, I truncated (cut & shut) the tank so I could just squeeze it in and out. |

In other news I did happen across a rather nice (well i think so ) set of angle blocks , hardened and ground ,in 5 degree increments ,5/8 thick should be a handy addition to the shop :dremel: Rob |
