Hmmm... they're certainly robust but the method of attaching the chuck is abysmal in my opinion. I'd take a Harrison in preference any day. |

Previous colchester to mine, essentially the same but with a round head instead of the square. Nothing wrong with the L00 chuck mount taper, works perfectly well and can be run in reverse.

I'd put "Favourite lathe" mainly because that was the first industrial lathe I had seen as a teenager ( School had the ubiquitous BOXFORD. ) ......but upon joining HM,RN as an ERA Apprentice in 1965 I was introduced to the Student ( actually about 100 of them in the Training Workshops)...I suppose it's like your first encounter with the "Femme Fatal" etc........ The memory stays with you long after the event has long-gone ??

Yes - my Kerry 1124 (British made, of course!) has an L00 spindle; backplates readily available (at least over here on the west side of the Atlantic). This almost sounds like a "metric vs. inch" debate - both work, but we all deep inside know that metric is far superior. (ducking!) JohnS. |
