The Colchester Mascot VS 2000 / Harrison V460 are heavy weight variable speed centre lathes designed and built to withstand rugged, heavy duty machining.

All our lathes give years of outstanding service with unrivalled return on investment. Heavy metal removal and fine precision finishing are at the core of all our centre lathes performance.

Our range offers a vast choice of optional accessories and equipment, further enhancing the performance and versatility to tackle even the most complex and challenging machining operations.

Each variable speed model is fitted as standard with the very latest state of the art Acu-rite digital readout systems and linear encoders. All DRO’s have integrated as standard constant surface speed (CSS) control.

This powerful feature dramatically increases productivity over conventional centre lathes by automatically controlling the spindle speed during machining. The standard DRO with integrated CSS functionality allows exactly the right speed for every job so tools perform better, cycle times are optimised and quality greatly improves.
