Colchester Mascot 1600 Manual Meat

I am going to be recieving a very sentimental and hard worked 1960 clausing colchester mascot engine lathe. The lathe was finally retired about two years ago as it was starting to no longer be able to maintain a size. I am planning on restoring the lathe to good working order and I am curious if anyone has sources for parts or even a manual for the machine as I am certain the manual is not with the machine anymore. Questions I have for anyone that can be of assistance. Tomb raider anniversary ps2 cheats. The gibbs or jibbs in europe I believe, I am certain they are worn beyond repair. Anyone have tips on where to find them, or know of a gibb manufacturing company. I do not have a mill with the travel to manufacture my own gibbs.

2.The spindle nose is threaded, since I have never disassembled or used a threaded spindle, does anyone make a good chuck for this machine. And also what is involved in changing to a camlock system. And not to mention do you have any tips or instructions for changing the chuck as I have never removed a threaded chuck before. 3.What kind of paint should I use on the tailstock and steady rest, the casting is almost completely bare on the steady and tailstock so I was going to media blast the casting (taping off the contact surfaces of course) what kind of paint will stick, or should I have it powder coated? 4.How much work is it to completely remove the carrage, I have removed the cross side and scraped the gibbs before, but I have never taken a carrage off to inspect the halfnut and carrage gears. 5.Bed repair, would it be possible to retain some accuracy by simply honing the bed by hand, or would a complete grind be necessacary.

The 3.125' bore headstock spindle was machined from a heat-treated, high tensile steel forging and ran in a pair of 'Gamet Super High Precision' low-angle, double-row cylindrical taper roller bearings at the front and a single, automatically adjusted, taper roller bearing at the rear.

Unfortunately, the various sizes of this fitting are easily confused by the inexperienced and legion are the number of chucks and backplates that have been bought in error. If you look carefully the size is (usually) stamped somewhere on these spindle fittings but, if not, do your homework, and use a ruler. And when you`re finished it will still be worth $2-300.Nope. To you that is. Mark makes a common error when valuing refurbished kit which is capable of useful work.
