The front gear box, is bolts and dowls, and can be removed, pulls forward. It looks like two bolts at the front onto the bed and two at the rear. Question is, will i be compromising the setup of the lathe by doing this or is this a necessary evil to shift the lathe?Īlthough ive no doubt you guys already know what im talking about, heres a picture showing the headstock in question. Ive stripped it down as much as i thought necessary (including removing the motor), unbolted the bed from the stand, and i still cant lift it! But looking at the headstock, it seems to be two gearboxes stacked ontop of each other and removing the top one (chuck drive) appears to be relatively straight forward. But once i saw it, i knew that it was just in a different league to mine! I wasnt that interested in it to be honest as i already have a fairly new warco to do my odds and sods and as I definitely fall into the amateur category, my needs are fairly basic.
Apologies for my first post looking for info but im unfortunately on a deadline to move this lathe before i have to return to work.Įssentially ive just acquired this Colchester from my neighbour who sadly passed away recently.
