    For Sale ! ! !

    Hmm, I have one also. Slightly shorter (001 instead of 003). Looks unused, apart from storage. Picture upon request. If anyone (mainly in Europe) is interested. Cheers Erik

    ACIERA F3 - getting ready to move one ....

    Well, your F3 is the new version - and pretty as well... So it should have ISO30 instead of W20... That's great.

    is the Deckel FP2 high-speed head redundant if one owns the fine boring head?

    Of course, the Fine Boring head will have a reach problem, when used with a 2037 table or other like it, I guess. So, at least if you don't have the long reach standard head, a High Speed head is nice to have. I can't be sure though, as I still haven't used my 2037 with the Fine Boring head.

    Colchester Chipmaster Variator HELP

    As a fellow Chipmaster owner I believe you should buy a large amount at a great price - and sell some or even most of it to other KOPP variator owners, of course...;) Yes, it's now the preferred oil for the headstock, too.

    Colchester Chipmaster Variator HELP

    Of course you have to open it..... You need to know the condition. Mind the gasket. I think I used some Loctite gasket stuff - but I don't really remember.

    Colchester Chipmaster Variator HELP

    If you don't know what is inside your variator - then you should replace it with "the right stuff". What you have there ain't it...

    Deckel FP 2 questions.

    Yep. User "ballen" it is. He has set a path in both text and pictures for us to follow... Although his FP2 is older than yours...Beware of that. Cheers Erik (another FP2 owner)

    Versions of Deckel FP2 with 500mm X travel?

    I have the a test paper of my 500mm X travel FP2. The test paper show it was done in december 1966 before delivery to Ford in Cologne (Köln). And I have seen 400mm single dial FP2s claimed to be from from 1967. So the model change must be early 1967. Cheers Erik

    CHIPMASTER belt-drive conversion

    Hi Paul and John. I guess there must be a very good reason why Allspeeds variators require that oil. After all, they don't sell it themselves and therefore make no profit off it.

    CHIPMASTER belt-drive conversion

    Hi Paul. First of all, you need the only ONE correct oil for the variator - no substitutes or blah blah. Next, you need to adjust the tension between input and output cones. Both are crucial to the survival of the variator - but really easy to do... The variator needs a fixed input speed -...
