Clausing Colchester lathes are the industry standard where engine lathes are concerned. Don’t be confused, ‘engine’ doesn’t refer to an engine of any sort in the modern sense, but rather is an old term meaning that the device is mechanical. It was the first lathe to feature an automatic feed to the cutting tool, as opposed to lathes that had manual feeds only.
Now a long way since then, Clausing Colchester has distinguished itself as the most efficient and durable engine lathe, and now features all the newest technologies. They have been in business for 90 years, and the expertise they have gained shows in the craftsmanship of the engine lathes they produce. These machines are expected to continue machining parts over decades; therefore you can trust that when you buy a used model, it will work great for you.
There are many features you can expect from a Clausing Colchester. The spindle (main rotating part of the tool) now has the ability to swing over the bed, (the base that connects the headstock to the tailstock to ensure parallel alignment with the spindle’s axis), as well as over the cross slide, or in a removable gap. The spindle also now comes with variable speeds for versatility. Clausing Colchester engine lathes can calculate different axes, including movement along a longitudinal feed range. They can calculate in inches (Imperial) or in centimeters (metric) as well. These general lathes also come with optional features that will make them close to a super functional tool room lathe if you need it to be.
