Hi everyone,
I'm new to this forum and this is my first post. I have a Colchester Master Mk2 lathe (US fellow users would call this a Clausing, but I'm in the UK). It's a square head model, 13" swing and 36" between centres. I need to replace the half nut and have no idea how to go about getting at it, never having done a job like this before. I have a replacement half nut ready to fit.
Is there anyone on the forum with experience of this? I need to know thinks like Do I remove to cross slide? Do I dismantle the apron? etc (and if so, how?)
Any helpful suggestions would be very gratefully accepted.
