rodwc Posted July 11, 2008 Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 A good quality lathe and tools are needed for repair work, and machine tools ain`t cheap. A new Schaublin 70 lathe will set you back approx $50,000. Thought you might like to see these. The drills are tungsten carbide, and range in size from 0.3mm - 2.3mm and are totally useless in anything other than a lathe or cnc machine.

rolex001 Posted July 11, 2008 Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 This is a part of my wet dreams. Wow! What did you pay for that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan Posted July 11, 2008 Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 Very nice setup. I am sure you can have a lot of fun with this. Where were you able to get it from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodwc Posted July 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 This is a part of my wet dreams. Wow! What did you pay for that? Bought it about 10 years ago from a fellow restorer, new head bearings and in top condition having done only very light work. Second hand cost was $8500, with 3 and 4 jaw chucks, also imperial size collets. The drills are available most places inc. Ebay. The Schaublin is mainly used for re-pivoting damaged and broken antique clock pivots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir-Lancelot Posted July 11, 2008 Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 Man, the damage I can make with such a beautiful machine. Congrats! LOL I hear you brother. I would go broke experimenting. Nice set up rodwc. You must have to fork over some serious $$ to have a clock restored/repaired. Thanks for sharing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
