Get a Colchester Student with a removable gap, run it with a rotary inverter and you can turn and screwcut just about anything motorcycle related. :yup:
I managed to swing my pre unit timing cover to bore it for an oil seal and circlip groove (30% more oil pressure than the bronze bush) with the gap out. ;)

Sarah was a colchester student once. Any good to you??? lOl lOl

Been watching a few on EBay and I think 2k is wildly optimistic.

A more realistic price would be £1500


This isn't a reduction in price to shift it. I would be quite happy to put it in the corner of the garage as it is so damn useful. My Colchester can do much bigger things (like bore Buell cylinders, skim heads, cut squish bands etc.) but the Myford is an all-can-do with the milling attachment, chuck jaws that like very small diameters etc. Although it will probably end up on BeGay

Sell the Myford and you'll have enough room (and cash) to buy a cheap Bridgeport or XYZ mill. Milling on a lathe is always a compromise. :yup:
