Hey, great picture build series. Has helped me out tremendously a few times, so thanks for that! Question for ya, at 2.08 you are saying to put the "channel" facing up to act as an oil reservoir .. but ... gravity works downwards .. how does the oil get from the oiler "UP" the holes into the channel or up through the hole in case of the second hole ... Are you certain it's meant to point up? Where did you get that info? Thanks again for these pictures, they saved my bacon a couple of times :)

Hi, when oil is put through the oiling point on the front of the shaft the groove acts as a small oilbath and keeps the gear lubricated.

Hi Mathias, glad the videos helped you, sorry I don,t have a video of the cross slide refitting, but when you strip it down the method of adjustment will become apparent to you, didn,t remove my headstock as it was in good condition without any oil sediment, as far as I know it is four bolts that hold it on to the bed, there is a video on you tube of someone removing the head off a colchester the same as ours, splitting the bed from the lower bodywork is four bolts, hope this has been of help to you, regards Doc Cox.

Excellent videos , I don't need to strip my MK2 but ot's been very enlightenening. I am having an issue with my worm drive box, I'm wondering, can I pull the drive rod out from the far end of the bed will the worm box simply drop out without me needing to strip the entire apron ? , just wondered if you had any thoughta given you'd been through the strip down :-)

Hi Al, the rod can be pulled out from either end but will have a look at my video to see if I can help you more.

Have just had a look at the video Al and you will have to remove the apron to remove the worm box, not a bad job but the apron is heavy, watch your fingers.
