Hello all
New here and have some questions on a Colchester lathe I picked up this past summer. First off it's serial number starts "G 28266 BH" I have been on the Colchesters lathe group on Yahoo and asked the questions about age and found out that it is somewhere in 63-64 year range. Down on the front door for the coolant tank it has only Colchester written on the door without Clausing super imposed over it. Does anyone know when the Clausing name went on or over the Colchester name? Anyway the machine is in pretty good shape and if anyone knows where I could get a correct taper attachment for it I would be willing to trade a 10" Atlas lathe for it. Well out for now. mike
