    Colchester Bantam Lathe

    Anyone have comments on the 6x20 Colchester Bantam Lathe? I'm considering one. It looks like a solid machine but I've never heard of it. Nice size for my hobby room. I'd be replacing my Jet 9x20.

    This is an excellent machine, any of the Colchester machines, will be a great machine to buy, make sure it has been looked after

    My Dad has one. They are a well known English make, probably a lot more common over here in the UK. Great, rock solid machine.
