The Colchester Triumph 2000 is a used centre lathe — sometimes referred to as an engine lathe — designed for precision metal turning, facing, threading, and general machining operations. Colchester is a long-established British manufacturer with a strong reputation for producing robust manual and semi-automatic lathes widely used in engineering workshops, toolrooms, and educational facilities across the UK and internationally.
This machine is configured as a gap bed lathe, meaning a section of the bed near the headstock can be bridged or removed to accommodate larger-diameter workpieces than the standard swing would otherwise permit. The swing over bed measures 15 inches (380 mm), and the distance between centres is 50 inches (1,270 mm), indicating a generous working length suitable for a broad range of shaft and cylindrical components.
Spindle speed reaches up to 2,000 RPM, and the spindle bore diameter is 2.125 inches (54 mm), allowing bar stock of that diameter to pass through the headstock. The machine is fitted with a three-jaw chuck for quick and repeatable workholding, along with a quick-change tool post that significantly reduces the time needed to swap between cutting tools.
A two-axis Acu-Rite digital readout (DRO) is installed, providing real-time positional feedback on both axes and improving accuracy and repeatability during manual operations. A tailstock is present for supporting longer workpieces or performing drilling and reaming operations along the machine's centreline. The lathe also includes a coolant pump and tray, enabling continuous application of cutting fluid to extend tool life and improve surface finish during extended machining runs.
This machine is offered used and is located in the United Kingdom.
