Default Sleeper Rebuild Lathe

http://cgi.ebay.com/13-swing-Clausing-Colchester-Engine-Lathe_W0QQitemZ7615225334QQcategoryZ633QQssPageNam eZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Ive seen this lathe up close and personal. Yes..the ways need to be
reground and turcited..but the machine is in otherwise marvelous
condition. It would be a GREAT home shop machine if fixed up. Ive the
round top version and its a joy to use.

I believe the British (this is a Colchester made machine) call it the
Senior or Chipmaster Mk II irrc.

It's a Colchester Student.

The chipmaster is a nice lathe though, has a variator instead of
gearbox. The colchester bantam is similar size but geared head.
