Thread: Bantam metric leads crew & half nut

There is a firm called Nobilla that breaks Colchester lathes, but their prices are not bargain basement!

yes they only have new and that's where the £ 375 and the nut £100 then vat on top! comes from. Would be fine if the machine was hardly used but as it's 45 years old a good second would be more suitable.

I'll look into the kingston option - I do have an imperail leadscrew and half nut

So I was wondering on the off chance if anybody had a spare metric leadscrew and half nut for a Bantam or was breaking one?

Any suggestions would be welcome.

I've bought a Colchester Bantam, it's metric but I need a metric leadscrew & half nut to complete the machine.

I can get from a Colchester lathe Specialists a new leadscrew for £375+vat but though the machine's good it would not justify that price especially as I have already paid near on £400 for it.

Imperial is findable but metric seems impossible to find a good leadscrew & half nut.

So I was wondering on the off chance if anybody had a spare metric leadscrew and half nut for a Bantam or was breaking one?

Regards,

Simon
