Hi
A couple of years ago i sold my Colchester bantam lathe ,to finance a very nice Boxford aud lathe.
The bantam was good but had a limited top speed (800 rpm)
After selling the lathe i was left with a lot of 20 mill tooling and a glanze parting tool holder.
This was modified to fit directly on to the boxfort quick change tool post

This link should take you to the colchester parting off some alloy bar

This was the lathe advertised on you tube

It was sold to a bloke from Ireland
The Boxford is down on capacity but is better for smaller stuff
