New toy: Setting up Colchester Student lathe

[Jonathan]

Well he would say that wouldn't he. Not, no mate it's completely flipped. You can check out the serial number here http://www.lathes.co.uk/colchester/page34.html

Yes, of course he would. He didn't realise the 4 jaw chuck was in the cabinate until he started shifting the lathe, so I got that chuck for nothing. I'll check the number tomorrow.

If the runout was repeatable at the same point on the chuck it might be worth it, but if the run out changes position then you live with it

Sorry I'm not sure what you mean by 'at the same point'?
