    CNC/Manual Combination Lathes

    We boast a comprehensive range of 2 and 3 axes, high performance flat-bed CNC / Manual combination centre lathes, offering the ultimate versatility, allowing users to manually operate for traditional tasks and switch to CNC for more complex operations.

    Harrison Alpha XS 2-axis CNC/Manual Combination Lathes

    The Harrison Alpha XS CNC combination lathe range is designed for fast, high-quality repeatability, accuracy and surface finish to exacting toolroom accuracy standards (DIN 8605), which ultimately significantly reduces component production costs.

    Harrison Alpha XC 3-axis CNC/Manual Combination Lathes

    Built to toolroom accuracy, the Harrison Alpha XC range incorporates turning with milling, drilling and tapping functionality, reducing the need for second operation production for one-offs and small to medium batches of components.

    Colchester Multiturn Flat-Bed CNC Lathes

    The Colchester Multiturn flat-bed CNC lathe range is designed for fast, high-quality repeatability, accuracy and surface finish to exacting toolroom accuracy standards (DIN 8605), which ultimately significantly reduces component production costs.

    Colchester Multiturn XC Flat-Bed 3-Axis CNC Lathes

    Built to toolroom accuracy, the Colchester Multiturn XC range incorporates turning with milling, drilling and tapping functionality, reducing the need for second operation production for one-offs and small to medium batches of components.

    Colchester Student CNC

    The compact Colchester Student CNC lathe is designed and engineered in the UK using the same construction as the market leading Colchester Student. Fitted with the latest Fanuc CNC controls gives the user ultimate flexibility in programming, including ISO, conversational Manual Guide i, or via CAD/CAM. Ideally suited for education and industrial applications.

    Colchester Magnum Heavy Duty CNC Lathe

    The Colchester Magnum Heavy Duty CNC Lathe has 4 versions based on swing over bed of 880mm, 1010mm, 1135mm and the 1275mm. Manufactured with a one-piece bed, floor type casting, the Magnum HD series of large capacity, high specification CNC lathes give more versatility to specialised turning applications.

    This flexibility caters to varying skill levels and enhances efficiency by automating intricate machining processes when needed. All machines are of flatbed construction which are versatile and suitable for a wide range of applications.

    They can handle various workpiece sizes and shapes, making them adaptable to different machining needs, and suited to all sectors of engineering, manufacturing, and education. The flatbed design provides increased rigidity and stability to the machine structure, which contributes to improved precision and accuracy during machining operations.

    The stable bed structure and advanced control systems contribute to achieving high levels of precision in machining operations. This is crucial for industries that require tight tolerances in their components.
    All models boast a large machining envelope, with the 3-axis machines incorporating milling, drilling and tapping functionality.

    From the compact Student CNC to the large swing, heavy duty Magnum HD CNC, all models are ideally suited to business wishing to produce one-offs and small to medium batches of parts swiftly and efficiently.

    All CNC / Manual Combination lathes come with the latest generation of CNC control system from Fanuc or Siemens. With their user-friendly controls and interfaces, these machines are accessible to a broader range of operators, reducing the learning curve and increase overall efficiency.

    All machines have conversational programming integrated into the control system as standard. Whether it be Fanuc’s Manual Guide I or Siemen’s Shop Turn, CNC conversational programming simplifies the process by providing an intuitive interface for creating machine tool paths. This allows users without extensive G-code knowledge to easily program CNC machines, reducing the learning curve and enabling quicker implementation. It enhances efficiency, minimizes errors, and promotes faster prototyping and production.
