If work is still required by someone...

If you want to make something like in the picture, the answer is NO, sorry Unless you're willing to pay...

But for everything else shoot me a message and Ill discuss your design and time frame etc.

That picture gives me equal amounts of fond memories of making shiny things and PTSD of chucking them in the bin once I’d measured them.

The good old Colchester, apprentice's far and wide have turned out scrap on one of those. 😍

As have I! But man when you nail +-0.01 I swear it’s like Jesus was taking the controls

@Waitey Interested in buying your own? Its a Chester db11vs with a modified Colchester student cross and top slide (fixes the awful rigidity problem with the standard parts) Come with a coolant pump, a multifix tool post, some tools, inserts and some spares.

Lathe costs around 2500, then the multifix, the cross and top slide, a spare un modified cross slide, the coolant pump, tooling and a digital readout with 2 axis that hasn't been fitted so in total around 3500+ worth. As its on the forum Id go £2300.

The table and cabinet isnt included but we could do a deal on the cabinet..

Would anyone be able to make me a few (8) top hat spacers. Not to worried about the material used as the old ones were made from plastic

Thanks

Could it be 3d printed? What is it used for?

It's a little spacer thing for the adjust handle on some seat rails
