Realy impressive

Remarkable processes and precision from back in the day...

Q maravilloso ver esto . Q buenos años esos donde tido se construia bien hecho . Aca en n Argentina tanbien se construia buenas maquinas herramifntas pero los buenos gobiernos lograron q desaparescan en fin hoy un muchacho joven no sabe lo q es un torno ni tanooco le interesa . Un gran saludo de Argentina

Hvorfor bygges der på havnen ? Ingen forklaring ? Det er som at sidde og se maling tørre.

It all went away.

Listen to that narrator's accent. I was a Turner for 50 years, and worked all over Scotland, and never heard any machinist with an accent like his!

I wonder when the first part will flow on the water and eventually flow to its place.

I am absolutely sick of EVERYONE on this forum going on about "How it used to be so much better in the good old days, now all lost". This is complete balls! The Colchester Lathe Company is still alive and well and making lathes, now in Yorkshire. We bought a brand new Colchester Student only about 4 years ago (to supplement our 40 year old Triumph 2000) and it is still a very fine lathe for the money. Of course, 3 times the price of a Chinese copy, but the difference is I had confidence in how it Is built, how it will work and its durability. I am getting on, but we have new apprentices and I am certain this will still be in use when they are my age and have apprentices of their own. Colchester are not the "last man standing" in UK machine tools either - we have Mazak in Worcester making fabulous CNC machines and lots of small specialist machine tool companies like Abwood in Dartford, they are just the ones I've worked with. STOP TALKING DOWN UK MANUFACTURING! We make loads of great cars in the UK, we have the SECOND LARGEST AEROSPACE MANUFACTURING SECTOR of any country in the world (after the USA) and countless small companies exporting world leading products. But if everyone keeps knocking our manufacturing and talking it down, the politicians will not support it and see its importance. SUPPORT THE UK'S SUCCESSFUL MANUFACTURING INDUSTRIES! BOAST ABOUT OUR ACHIEVEMENTS!

At technical school in the 50s I could not wait until Machine shop practice period came up, we had among others , Colchester Student lathes. we had no eye protection and not much instruction from memory, A Nuttal nearly took my finger off because i was not instructed how to fit [and secure] the chuck. Not knowing that you had to spin on the reverse chuck locker meant that stopping tyhe spindle drive instantly without locking meant tyhat hyou had a chuck rapidly spinning off the thread at 750 revs and threatening to land on the bed, its not recomended to grab the chuck with both hands as I did, The teacher said, lucky you had the wood piece of thick ply between me and the ways or I might have lost a finger.

The Student was the first machine I used in my 5 year apprenticeship which I started in 1969

Sad that the local College now uses cheap inferior lathes - sometimes the Brits are their own worst enemy

❤❤

One of the best lathes I ever got to operate.

This lathe was an excellence in production and craftmanship never to be seen again .HOWEVER , the spraying , grinding off and applying the filler was a very dangerous procedure, without wearing protection( face masks).

I have a colchester bantam mini that is a 1921, still works perfectly

What a magnificent film. Made at a time when people took pride in their work, and when companies were making quality machines. Such amazing engineering.

Nobody really builds quality like this anymore unless you pay big bucks. Even then I doubt they're as well made as far as longevity. It was just the standard and people made good money. Ill never forgive the people that ruined it.

That's quality. Where do you see that today?

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!😯😯😯!!!!!!!!!!!!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Er museet godt?

The disregard for safety in these old films is really noticeable to modern sensibilities.

meget flot film og godt lavet 😊

Flot aften himmel 👍

Wow 😮😮😮well done 👏

Sinto como todos esses conhecimentos e acima de tudo a qualidade dessas máquinas estão perdidas no tempo nesse mundo digital em que vivemos agora

Der er en der har fulgt med i hvor man må flyve ;) flot video

What's the name of the turning tool being used at 1:00 in? Such heavy and rapid facing cuts

The bell!!!

Hvad skal strukturen repræsentere ved minut 2:35?

Også tak herfra for gode optagelser af det store projekt og inkl. Lalandia👌

Everything is very mechanical compared to nowadays where it's so much more electronic

Fede optagelser! Tak !

"The world TURNS" ... HuuuurrrrrHurhur" -lathe machinists world wide

Nice clear and steady images, music enjoyable too.

I started my Apprenticeship in 1963 - like most engineers in the country first year learning to file square, making your tools and then into the machine shop. My guess 99% pf us would have been on a Colchester lathe during their training.

I have a Student lathe and it continues to work to high tolerances, i live near Colchester where the old factory is long gone, its now a Tescos.. What ever were we thinking to have allowed our Once Great nation to slide into the shameful mess that it is today.

I am a Fitter and Turner from South Africa, I started my apprenticeship in 1993 to 1996 and did all my turning training on a Colchester student 2000 and Triumph.

Amazing! Now u know why they last. They have so much competition that every company wants to stand out by being cheaper, quality and precision. Nowadays it’s just how cheap can they make it.

Fantastic finest quality British engineering.

I remember as a BAe apprentice being cautioned against starting up my 4-jaw lathe. When I questioned why, my instructor said "you may want to remove the adjustment lever first". He laughed, "there's always one".

Best version of this soundtrack 👌

Hvad skal der så ske med den gamle bro ?

Always wondered............how they made the first lathe.......without a lathe....

❤❤❤

Super god video 👍

Na ovakvoj sam vrsalici...sjekao snoplje davne 1969 god..poz iz Republike Srpske...drago mi je ovo vidjet...podsjeti me na djetinstvo❤❤❤

Nice...

How are you?~æVrdatse- Yo! total best . 🤚

Tak for films, bestemt værd at se..! Er så gigantisk et projekt at det er svært at overskue som besøgende. Udstillingen i byen ka også anbefales. Go sommer 🍻
