Thank you all for the help on this one. The Lathe is not up and running yet as i need to take care of a weak motor and other Di**BLEEP**elties. To me it seems as if the magnifier will get in the way a bit and as noted, have some vibration issues. I will continue a search for a cross slide, armored by the insights given. Thank you all ! Joe

Thanks for the tips, @Jon and especially for the video demo. I’ve struggled with this and knew there must be a better way. I’m always fearful of the potential for inflicting damage, but the method you show allows for better control in the process. Great tip too about dulling the blade with 400 grit paper. Big thanks.

Sorry, hadn't made any progress on that project. Had family issues come up and took time off from watchmaking. Still using my budget machine based on a lab stirrer motor and a lazy susan turntable. I fit the main plate in the tray first and then place (stuff is more like it) the mainspring on top. The tray is tall enough to accommodate both.

Bonjour et bienvenue. Merci pour l'introduction ... which is the extent of my French. -

That was the problem. The search results all looked like either they were for engraving or were little more than a dowel with a ferule jammed on the end.
