Hi all,
I've found a refurbished Colchester Master 2500, here in South Africa. I havn't been able to see it in person yet although the dealer has said its under power and Im welcome to check it out any time...I take that as a good sign.
I was wondering though what your opinions are of the machines in general. How do they compare to the better Asian imports for example? Are there particular model variations or years to avoid?
The main use for this lathe is going to be gunsmithing work, along with light once off protoptype machining.
Any advice appreciated, thanks!
