Engineered for Precision and Reliability

The Colchester Student 1800 Lathe is designed to offer exceptional accuracy and reliability for professional metalworking. Its hardened and ground bedways, extensive spindle speed range, and robust cast iron construction make it suitable for a wide variety of applications. The manual controls and conventional setup allow precise operator input, enabling detailed craftsmanship for both small batch production and educational use.

Versatile Machining Capabilities

This lathe accommodates both metric and imperial threading (0.214 mm and 272 TPI respectively) and provides generous carriage travel of up to 885 mm. The 40 mm spindle bore supports larger workpieces while the maximum swing over bed of 280 mm ensures versatility. Coupled with a gap bed feature, machinists can undertake complex jobs such as faceplate and large-diameter operations with ease.

Features Designed for Operator Convenience

A fitted coolant system and integral lighting support a safe, comfortable, and efficient workspace. The control system is fully manual, providing tactile feedback ideal for training environments and hands-on tasks. The lathes compact footprint and approximate 850 kg weight make it a stable and practical investment for educational institutions, workshops, and industrial environments alike.

FAQs of Colchester Student 1800 Lathe:

Q: How is threading performed on the Colchester Student 1800 Lathe?

A: Threading on the Colchester Student 1800 Lathe can be executed in both metric (0.2 to 14 mm) and imperial (2 to 72 TPI) formats. You select the desired pitch through the lathes change gears and chart, enabling accurate thread cutting suitable for various applications.

Q: What types of materials can be machined with this lathe?

A: Due to its 2.2 kW motor and solid Cast Iron construction, the lathe is capable of handling various metals such as steel, aluminum, brass, and copper. The cutting thickness can reach up to 8 mm, depending on the hardness of the material.

Q: When should the coolant system be used during operation?

A: The fitted coolant system should be used during prolonged machining tasks, especially when working on metals prone to heat build-up. It helps dissipate heat, improves tool life, and results in a better surface finish on the workpiece.

Q: Where can this lathe be installed and who is it suitable for?

A: Thanks to its 415 V, 3 Phase configuration and compact size, the Colchester Student 1800 can be installed in most industrial workshops, training institutes, and engineering colleges. It is ideal for professionals, educators, and trainees.

Q: What benefits does the gap bed design offer?

A: The gap bed feature allows users to accommodate larger workpieces that would not fit within the standard swing diameter. This increases the range of jobs that can be performed, adding substantial flexibility to workshop operations.

Q: How does the manual control system benefit the user?

A: Manual controls deliver direct operator feedback and greater control over machining operations. This is especially valuable for training environments and skilled machinists seeking tactile interaction during production and prototyping.
