Now, that's a proper grinder. A mate of mine used to have one similar in his old workshop. The wheels on his were about 2" wide. You can't beat having the mix of large circumference wheels and the added high inertial mass that goes with it.....OZ. |

Hi Rob, Some time ago I posted about some refurbishment work I did on my Colchester Triumph 2000 http://madmodder.net/index.php/topic,10697.msg123432.html#msg123432 Yours looks to be a tidy machine I am running mine from a VFD, 220v 3 phase so the motor terminals needed changing to delta configuration There are a few issues on them that you need to look out for !! The drive pulleys on the gearbox input shaft can wear (as on mine) Some versions of the lathes have mains voltage to the control buttons, theres a gap below the chuck where swarf can find its way into the controls :bang: (mine now has low voltage controls) Coolant finds its way easily into the apron gearbox, so when you use the one shot oiler its possible to pump coolant instead of oil If you locate the lathe against a wall then you need to move the coolant tank to outside of the base so you can access it.

Love that the "MAX RPM" is unspecified! A bit like "Max Headroom" |

I can only assume it's MAD MAX |

John --- End quote --- Cheers for the heads up John :thumbup: I will be giving the lathe a good check over when I get it into the workshop , I did notice the rear entry to get to the coolant ,I am still pondering that one as I will have the lathe up against the shop wall .
