This Colchester Triumph 2000 is a used lathe — sometimes called an engine lathe or centre lathe — a machine tool designed for turning, facing, boring, threading, and a wide range of other rotational metalworking operations. Colchester is a well-established British manufacturer with a long history of producing precision lathes and turning machines for engineering workshops, toolrooms, and general metalworking industries worldwide.
The machine is a straight-bed configuration with a distance between centres of 50 inches, making it well suited to longer workpieces. Swing over the bed is 15 inches and swing over the cross-slide is 9 inches, defining the maximum diameter of work that can be accommodated at each position. The spindle accepts workholding via a D16 chuck mounting and has a clear spindle bore of 2 inches, allowing bar stock to pass through the headstock. The tailstock is fitted with a No. 4 Morse taper.
Spindle speed ranges from 25 to 2,000 RPM across 16 selectable steps, providing good versatility for different materials and cutting diameters. The lathe is equipped for full-length screw cutting, extending its capability to threading operations along the entire bed. The main drive motor is rated at 7.5 hp.
Included with the machine are three-jaw and four-jaw chucks and a faceplate, giving immediate workholding flexibility for a variety of part geometries. A quick-change tool post with three holders is also included, reducing tool changeover time. A coolant system is fitted, and a two-axis digital readout (DRO) is installed, aiding accurate and repeatable positioning during operation.
The seller describes the machine as being in good condition. Approximate weight is 1.5 tons, and overall dimensions are approximately 7 ft × 4 ft × 5 ft. The machine is located in the United Kingdom.
