I understand that the Colchester Lathe is still considered a bit of an industry standard for quality and accuracy.
Can't justify buying a Colchester lather but would like some data on there accuracy specs if anyone is willing/able to share.
Planning to buy a good quality Taiwanese lathe and would like to compare the accuracy between the machines - to see what I am potentially missing out on.
It is true that there are some really super accurate Taiwanese machines - Cyclematic (on one machine spindle runout of .00125mm) - but somewhere below that are some machines with more modest but still desirable levels of accuracy - that is where I am looking.
Any advice is welcome and appreciated.
