I understand that the Colchester range are very solid reliable lathes.
I need some advice on the possibility of running Colchester Student MK2 or 1800 on 1ph 240v. Is this possible with any degree of success?? Will I have problems with the lathe operation? and what would these problems likely to be?? What are the pros and cons or am I better to use a VFD or other device. Electrical matters are like voodoo to me.
The MK2 or the 1800, which is the better lathe and for what reason.
cheers, Ken
