I have a colchester triumph 71/2 its the same lathe as the clausing 15, i have very little experience of lathes and its my first ever lathe that worked properly. i know it can cut threads but i am clueless as to how to actualy do this.
I have played with it a little and it turns very well and i have tried to do a few things on it like turning a taper and a curve but with poor results to be honest.
Do any of you have any details on the clausing (colchester) lathes, and whould you be so kind to try and talk a complete novice hoew to cut a thread on one please, and how to turn a taper as wellthis i find imposible to do thanks Lynard
