Can you ID these lathe bed stops?

[6ply]

I have these lathe bed stops in my box of possibly useful to someone but as yet unidentified parts.

If anyone has a clue as to what lathe they could belong to I would be most grateful for your suggestions. They don't fit a Harrison m300.

I've taken some dimensions in inches as I'm guessing the machines are vintage.

They look like the ones I've got for my Colchester Chipmaster.

Looking at the first picture, which stop? Thanks

'Looking like' and 'fitting' are rather different things. Please measure the ones you have and that would confirm they would fit Chipmaster/Bantam/Harrison 10aa or not.

The single bolt one is in the style of those used on Colchesters, but it was common to the larger machines as well.

If you sat all three of them on the corner of a square bar (representing the vee-way of the machine bed), do the smaller rods (that contact the saddle) all line up at the same height? That would indicate if all three were suitable for the same machine. If none ofthe rods line up, they are from three different machines.

That's a useful lead, thanks. I guess some more measurements are in order.

Blimey, I didn't fancy going down the garage in my pj's at 11.00 last night, but I'll have a look today if the wife lets me off making a new shed for 5 minutes.

2 are similar but not the same. 25mm bar to aid comparison

And the next one with the same 25mm bar...

So why did you post at all at that time?

A post tomorrow, that provides some positive and useful information, is infinitely better than one yesterday that says nothing and worse is potentially misleading.

Cor, you're grumpy, I'm not married to you, am I? you sound just like my wife.
