Thread: Machinist's / hobby machinist's

That Global is a very useful workshop machine. I had something similar for many years and it gave excellent service, then about 15 years ago Scott Machinery phoned to say they had traded in 5 or 6 late model Colchester Students with all accessories (ex a technical college), 1 metre BC and at a sharp price. They sold the lot over the phone before they even took delivery. I picked up a good capstan attachment a few years later and bought a new collet chuck. It is a fabulously accurate machine and cuts a large range of metric and imperial threads.
