Wow, that is a beautiful little lathe.

These are very nicely made, thanks.

I am willing to spend all my money to own this beautiful lathe.

Great stuff! I've got a couple 8mm watchmakers/jewlers lathes and a staking set. Thanks for sharing! Edit. I can get down to just under 3 thousandths with a cross slide.

I would lose a lathe that small in my shop ! Lance & Patrick from Active Atom channel re build those lathes , they do an amazing job . Lol . If you look them up , you may have to have an open mind . If you know what i mean ! 👍

[@deedeeindustrialsuperprecision]

Cool, thanks

[@nickdecker2350]

Such a cute little lathe! The whole first half of the video i was thinking how perfect it would be for carb jets or really any type of spray nozzle

[@deedeeindustrialsuperprecision]

Glad you liked it!

Levin makes an instrument size lathe as well. However, the price tag doesn't help my admiration of these small lathes. Thanks for the share Don. 👍

That spacer looks like the bearing shield for the headstock

[@deedeeindustrialsuperprecision]

I don't know

[@djfaber]

@@deedeeindustrialsuperprecision I recently took my Levin 8mm headstock apart to free up the bearings and there is a shield in there as well as a wavey washer to add tension on the bearing sets.

Thank you great video

[@deedeeindustrialsuperprecision]

Hi, thanks for tuning in today!

[@JMachien]

Yes! That's awesome! Some years back, I had to downsize & move into a much smaller place. As part of the downsizing, I had to sell my metal lathe & replace it with a Taig micro lathe. I've always wondered if I should have bought a used watchmakers lathe instead. A lot of those watchmakers lathes look like they're built a lot more solid than the micro lathes. Thanks for posting :)

[@deedeeindustrialsuperprecision]

I have not used the other micro lathes yet, it looks like they do a lot

[@Farmingthe306]

I’ve got a used levin lathe for sale

[@brianskidmore7771]

Hi Dee , great video , what’s the Lever on motor at pulley end ? Can see a slot around bell with piece sticking out.

[@JMachien]

I have to admit, I was curious about that, too.

[@deedeeindustrialsuperprecision]

That is the motor brush holder and reversing switch. The whole brush holder rotates in that slot to reverse. Hamilton Beach motor.
