That is a nice set up, fun to watch.

I really appreciated your presentation of how you use your Roundhead Colchester Student and your practical tips from years of experience. Thank you.

Last time I used a lathe was at school and that was around 45 years ago 😱. People that use lathes for a living are artists, really interesting and informative video 👍

Great set up !

Good lathe. Good modifications. And an interesting presentation. Enjoyed it a lot.

We have an old boxford lathe for the odd job. Love your upgrades!

well said,,beware of buying a large lathe from 1900 that's in a hundred pieces.. and when you spend hours renovating it and get it working, finding out its not suited for modern day work without a lot of head scratching!!! and also help from clever people..

Really enjoyed this vlog. Very informative and motivational (as are all of your vlogs actually). I have a similar machine (60/61 ish). I would like to fit a quick change tool post, but my lathe doesn't have the wide T slot that yours has. Was your top slide a retro fit ?

Sure my lath machine Colchester metric thread praplam

Hi Ade, just brought a digital tacho for my student, did you get the power for it from your VFD? Great video !

Interested to understand if the increase of speed affects the original Gamet bearings etc or if you run a different oil?

She's changed a bit since I last saw her in action :)
