Because it sat on a flat section of the bed instead of a continuation of the V ways, the headstock was provided with a mechanism that allowed it to be adjusted laterally - though before altering the factory setting the owner was strongly cautioned to consult the (very comprehensive) owner's manual. All the beds could be had either with or without a detachable gap piece that, if fitted, allowed material up to 28-inches (711 mm) in diameter and 8.5 inches (216 mm) thick to be swung on the (optional-extra) 17-inch and 27-inch (433 mm or 685 mm) diameter faceplates.
It was available in four lengths that gave 40, 60, inches (1000 mm, 1500 mm, 2000 mm and 2500 mm) between centres. Induction hardened and ground-finished as standard, the bed was 13.5 inches (343 mm) wide and of the usual Colchester V-and-flat type, with separate pairs of ways for the carriage and tailstock. It would be unfair, however, to dismiss the Mascot 1600 as a mere styling exercise for this lathe was sold in an important and profitable (though demanding) section of the market - and to succeed it needed to be tough, well-made, reliable and with a combination of capacity, speed and ease of use that backed up its contemporary appearance.
