Clock Repairs pivot Work on my Siege Micro Lathe.

My Take on Pivot work a little Variation on a tool to use in the lathe, you might find it interesting, im sure the idea will be handy. Always Centre drill holes 1st this is important when doing any type of drilling on your lathe its a bit like using a centre punch it gives your drill some guidance and also avoids snapping carbide drill bits.

I don't want to hurt your feelings but it looks like your tail stock needs to be adjusted.

?? I’m not sure what you mean but any information or opinion is okay 👍

@@clockrepairsmerseyside8303 I could be wrong, but it looks like the center of rotation of your chuck is not lined up with the center of you tail stock. I have a little lathe like yours and from the factory mine was way out of alignment. It's hard to tell from the video, I could be wrong. Just a thought. Very cool trick with the block of brass BTW. I need to remember that one. Kind of a mini steady rest.

@redpillcommando this lathe has a sort of cam adapter that is fitted to the tail stock , excuse my description 😄 this enables you to centra the chuck and tail stock, as you probably know accuracy falls short on Chinese lathes so you do spend time setting up, a lot of my videos are aimed to give people an idea or maybe a way to approach certain things as on a daily basis working with clocks I see different ideas some with the wow factor & others not so much, back to our Chinese lathes,it’s handy & does get a lot of use we hold things in it to file etc etc etc the things I would not do with my Myford or Peerless watchmakers lathe so it’s really as handy as my staking set so from that point of view I like it.
