It’s only taken me two years so far, but I’m finally getting around to “refurbishing” the lathes I picked up.
A Colchester Student Mk2 Round Head and a Kerry Mk3 Model C.
Thoughts have currently moved toward tool post choices, and of course tooling. But the choice is quite overwhelming and to be honest a little confusing.
Both lathes are 6” swing, so I assume the tool posts can be identical, allowing tooling to be moved between them should the need arise.
But what size tooling and holders should I be looking at? I’m assuming the larger the tooling the stronger it is too?
All information and guidance is greatly appreciated.
