I have a quick question for you. I recently purchased a swing tail stock for Julie and it actually is around 2 mm high from the head stock. Any way of A lining this on my Watchmaker’s lathe. Oh and by the way, I tested this on 11 other lathes than the same problem exists.
I couldn't figure out why I'm seeing videos about lathes. I had just Google searched a lathe I acquired. Mine's got to be from the 50s and all one piece so I'm just missing the motor right now.
I have a G. Boley watchmakers lathe. Someone is telling me that the head stock and tail stock are supposed to have serial numbers that match the main stock. He is saying that the lathe won't be on center if the serial numbers don't match. There is nothing stamped on the head stock or tail stock. Is this a myth? Thanks -
It is best to have all matching serial numbers. But some don't have numbers like the one you have. Yes, it is important to have matching numbers, but it is not the end of the world if they don't match. If you don't have matching numbers, it might be problematic.
My clock is 180° off in the chime. If it's 12:00 it chimes six times. If it's 6:00 it chimes 12 times. If it's 5:00 it chimes 11 times. If it's 11:00 at chimes 5 times etc. How can I fix that?

Parts from different lathes are not always interchangeable. That make of tailstock may only work on the lathe it was made to be used.

That issue is addressed in one of my other videos.
У меня станок МОSELEY, в какие года он выпускался?
From the late 19th to around the third decade of the 20th centuries.

@TickTockPro I had already seen these but figured it was a Chinese copy. Looks nothing like the machine of old. Have you used one?
I have not used one of the new versions. The old original ones were far more robust.
@@TickTockProSherline is the way to go!
Sherline is great!
Machinist not a watchmaker.
My lathe is a bit biger, respect to all in precision work.

D-bed lathe = Geneva style lathe ! The WW-bed doesn’t actually have a D-shape …
If you look at the end of the WW lathe bed turned on its' side, it shows a D shape.
So nobody else hear the loud ringing? I thought I was bouta go deaf listening to this. ;-;
Cool video though :>
