figgy Posted April 23, 2020 Report Share Posted April 23, 2020 Nice, how long ago did you paint it and what year is it ? I've currently got two ml7, one I'm using with gearbox ,clutch and dro. The other I have stripped and am repainting it. What type and size are you looking at? Colchester student isn't much bigger but a lot heavier.

London Best Posted April 24, 2020 Report Share Posted April 24, 2020 After fifty years toolmaking I can confirm that going from a DSG to a Colchester is like getting off a thoroughbred racehorse on to a pig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

figgy Posted April 24, 2020 Report Share Posted April 24, 2020 (edited) Same vintage as mine is lovely machines. Yours looks in top condition, nice parts you've made too. Like the upgraded dials on cross slide and compound. I'd love a Colchester but the weight and bulk is more than the space I want to give up for a lathe. What lathe you fancying next? Modern Chinese or old English iron. Good luck with your sale. Edited April 24, 2020 by figgy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
