Colchester Master 2500: Key Features<\/h2>\n

Stronger and more refined\u00a0motor\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Compared to its predecessor, the Colchester Master 1800, the Master 2500 version is packed with a stronger and more refined motor (5 horsepower) that can help you finish your task faster, cleaner, and easier.<\/p>\n

Superb lubrication<\/em><\/p>\n

Colchester made sure that the Master 2500 is well lubricated to perform more difficult work. It comes with an\u00a0impeller-type pump<\/a>, which is mounted on on the oil tank and then placed inside the headstock-end plinth. With ample lubrication, the machine can be free from strains that may accumulate because of excessive friction.<\/p>\n

Armed with a\u00a0\u00a0flow-indicator<\/em><\/p>\n

The headstock comes with a flow-indicator that allows you to\u00a0ensure that oil reaches the necessary components with utmost efficiency. Many metal lathes that are out on the market are not armed by this accessory and only come with spring-applied brakes that are activated each time the apron is returned to normal.<\/p>\n

Outstanding customer service<\/em><\/p>\n

As a metal lathe owner, customer service is a little something that you\u2019ll find handy and Colchester is known\u00a0for being outstanding when it comes to this aspect. Its personnel are more than willing to recommend components, make replacement arrangements, answer to your queries, etc in a\u00a0professional and friendly manner.<\/p>\n

Equipped to handle\u00a0big\u00a0jobs<\/em><\/p>\n

The Colchester Master 2500 is equipped with the unique capacity to handle big jobs because of its hardened scrolls and ductile iron chucks. For this reason, you don\u2019t have to worry about breakage that may result from excessive workload.<\/p>\n

Established since 1897; Colchester is known for its long history of professionalism. It also happens to be the biggest and most respected turning machine builder company in all of Europe. This means that you\u2019re getting an investment that has trumped the test of time, the innovation of their competitors, and so much more.<\/p>\n
