The traditional Colchester machine tool builder has delivered over 100'000 lathes in its history since 1897. The conventional lathe is probably the best-selling machine in the industry.
Thanks to its high reliability and short delivery times due to stock machines, Colchester is still the world's first choice for repairs and education. In Switzerland, every two years the best polymechanics meet at the Swissskills (Swiss professional championships) to produce precise workpieces on Colchester machines and compete each other.
Due to the great price/performance ratio, these machines are among the most competitive conventional lathes on the market.
