Hello there! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us! Excellent video! I have a question about the cutters that people put on the cross slide. I am new with watchmaker lathe and I don’t know where I can buy a good quality set of cutters to use with my cross slide. Thank you for your help and keep up the great work!

Hello, I buy High speed steel at a supply house on line, .187 x .187 x 2.5 INCHES long square blanks and can grind the faces with a common bench grinder and finish with the sharpening stone, a common Machine Tool Practice book will show the Safety procedures angles and How-to , The holder for the tool in this video I Made and used until I found a vintage original tool holder I use now, also see my other Video where I replaced this Electric Motor with a Variable speed one. Best wishes and thank-you for watching : )

Hi, Jeffrey. Great vid. Can these things turn ferrous metals or are they designed for only the softer stuff?

[@JefferyKrueger]

Non -Heat treated tool steel too , can be turned , I just used a piece of brass and a home made tool holder for the demonstration.

@@JefferyKrueger Thanks for the rely, Jeffrey. Must be a handy thing to own (to put it mildly).

hello sir. . i have the same lathe. . im looking to add a self centering chuck. .did yours come with? or another brand. .do you mind commenting on this. .3 jaw vs 4 jaw. thank you

[@JefferyKrueger]

I bought the Lathe with no accessories and went down the expensive road of buying" New old stock chucks for it over time, I recently bought a complete set of Sherline Deluxe WW collet Set 1162 fractional sizes and really like them.

Wow! That's a sweet lathe! FW Derbyshire? Also what make and model is that motor? It seems to have amazing power, and so quiet!

[@JefferyKrueger]

Thank-you , I'll be adding Milling/Gear cutting attachment to the cross slide and Dividing plates to it very soon. Best wishes to you and thanks for watching : )
