The world turns on Colchester lathes
Engineered for efficiency

Colchester manual lathes are renowned worldwide for quality and
reliability. Built to withstand rugged, heavy duty use, our lathes give years of
outstanding service with the absolute minimum of maintenance. At the same
time, all Colchester manual lathes are capable of very fine precision turning.
Our VS manual lathes produce outstanding results not least due to their
infinitely variable spindle speed feature. The standard ACU-RITE CSS
DRO allows exactly the right speed for every job so tools perform better,
cycle times are optimised and quality improves.
Our entire range gives you exceptional ease of use and a huge choice
of optional and ancillary equipment guarantees top of the range
performance even for the most complex and challenging jobs.
With our investment in modern machine tool manufacturing technology,
plant and assembly techniques, coupled with the latest quality-driven
methodology and business practices, Colchester is able to provide the
same traditional solution to customers as yesteryear. However, today,
customers have the additional benefit of a lathe building company
driven by the ambition of a world-class strategy.
