We Removed over 150 lbs of STEEL (so Satisfying to Watch!)

In today's video we are using the Colchester Alpha 1760 to remove over 150lbs of material to create a water swivel seal ring for the big rig. I've tried to leave in a bit more machining time than usual. I found it so satisfying to watch and wanted to try something a little different. The sound of the lathe working is just mesmerising in my opinon. Anyway, Enjoy!

We run two CNC's, manual repair lathes, a few mills and a big green Megabore Lathe we call "THE HULK"... and are constantly having to make weird and wonderful tools for odd (usually oversize) jobs.
