Hello I'm new to this forum so please bear with me.

I am trying to remove the bed piece from my gap bed lathe. I have taken out the three holding bolts but it will only lift 1/2 mm . Has anybody else had this problem.

Help!

Early students had 4 allen screws and no dowels

Two vertically from the top, two horizontally, one in each outer edge

My Colchester Master 2500 virtually the same as your lathe has 5 screws holding the gap piece in place,there are three vertical short cap head screws,and two long horizontal c/h scews. you can use a standard allen key but a 3/8 drive ratchet handle with allen key "sockets " is easier. as there is not much space between the end of the gap piece and the headstock.
