145 forum posts 29 photos	Hello I have a couple of lathe fittings, which I think are from a Colchester lathe. they look as if they attach to the bed somehow, and slide along it. The tapered shaft is bored but not all the way through - so I guess it is for a handle rather than to lock it in place. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I hope the pics help. Many thanks John
