Colchester Student & Myford Lathe Comparison
The older Colchester Student Mk1 & Mk2 lathes are popular choices for the home workshop but so are Myford lathes. In this video I compare the two lathes on the basis of owning both and using them regularly in my home workshop. The aim is to give an overall assessment without going into too much detail to enable prospective purchasers to make an informed choice. Features covered include: Size and weight; belt vs gear drive; spindle mounting; bed design; feeds and screw cutting; capacity; convenience of use. 00:00 Introduction to the two machines 00:46 Overall dimensions 02:24 Motor access 02:49 Bed layouts 03:56 Headstock drives - geared vs belt 06:49 Spindle nose design - mounting of chucks etc 08:45 Stands and levelling 10:20 Screw cutting and automatic feeds 13:12 Maximum work capacity 15:20 Overall performance & durability 18:33 End
