Power was provided by a 5. However, due to a shortage of Matrix components, from Serial No. The headstock casting could be adjusted laterally on the bed, although before altering the factory setting the owner was strongly cautioned to consult the very comprehensive owner's manual. The lubrication arrangements for the headstock reflected the harder work that the lathe was intended to perform and used an impeller-type pump mounted on a oil tank fitted inside the headstock-end plinth and driven from a fifth groove on the main drive pulley; from the tank the oil was taken to a "distributor block" fastened beneath the headstock's top cover and from there by pipes to the required locations.

A flow-indicator sight-glass was fitted to the front face of the headstock to allow the operator to check that oil was flowing correctly. With a hardened 6-in D1 Camlock nose the 2. All the gears in the headstock, and not just those responsible for the main drive as on less heavily stressed Colchester models, were hardened and finish ground on Reishauer machines.

You are welcome to email for advice as to what is suitable. Concentrically mounted paddle levers on the front face of the headstock selected the spindle speeds and worked through an ingenious and compact mechanism, with for a machine tool an almost foolproof system of colour coding to indicate the settings.

Once the motor had been switched on by the headstock-mounted push-button starter the spindle control was by two levers: one pivoted from the right-hand apron wall and the other up against the inner face of the gearbox; both worked through a 'third shaft' parallel and below the feed shaft and leadscrew that was connected by links to a cross-shaft that passed through the bed just in front of the headstock.

The apron lever gave a stop, forward and reverse action the other just a reverse and stop; in conjunction with the headstock-mounted clutches and electrical switches and a foot-operated brake this easily-operated and safe system allowed the operator to control the spindle from either the vicinity of the toolpost or the headstock - and all while the motor was left running so that the minimum of time was wasted waiting for speed to build up it took 4 to 5 seconds to reach rpm with a inch chuck fitted - or slow down.

At Serial No. At serial No. At around the same time - or possibly not until Serial No. Continued below: Continued: Because the lathe was capable of rotating heavy jobs at high speed a powerful and easily-operated spindle brake was essential; the Mk.

On the "" the problem was fully addressed by mounting a more powerful brake that was activated by a full-length foot-operated bar hinged between the stand's plinths and with a mechanism that interconnected with the control for the spindle-clutch.

The lathe was also fitted with a headstock-mounted emergency stop button that operated through the obligatory "no-volt" release to prevent the motor restarting after a power cut , and a motor-run warning light to alert the hard-of-hearing, or those working in a noisy environment, that things were "active" and the controls should not to be played with casually.

Three conventional levers, and an 8-position joystick that moved into radial slots around a circle, swapped the ratios. The box was able to generate a wide range of pitches without dismounting or changing any of the changewheels; the range of threads comprised: 39 Metric from 0.

The range of sliding feeds varied from 0. Doubled walled the apron had shafts supported on ball bearing at each end and all gears hardened and ground; the base was closed off to form an oil bath to splash lubricate the internals and at the top of the front face, just to the right of cross-feed screw, was a push rod for hand-operated a plunger pump to feed the same lubricant to the bed, cross-slide ways and cross-feed nut.

A thread-dial indicator was fitted as standard. May 31, Colchester Centre Lathes, the world turns on colchester lathes.
