[How-To] Colchester 15x50 Gear Head lathe

[eric.grulke.79]

Is anyone running or familiar with these lathes, I recently purchased one from our local trade school but it seems to be missing a stop for the power feed stop.

I have the turret with the 4 rods but I can’t figure out what they stop against and the manual has no information.

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks,

Eric

A few pictures of the lathe would be great. I have a 13” round head with the power feed that can dis engage when it hits a carriage stop.


Cutting oil is my blood.
