I’ve just bought myself this Unimat 3 lathe with loads of add-ons including milling attachment est to have cost around £2000 the seller was asking £890 I made an offer of £750 which the seller has excepted. Many parts have not been out of there boxes and never used. I have been thinking over the past few days about starting some clock repairs as a hobby. My eyesight is not that good but I have been tinkering around with a few old movements and getting the feel of things and I am enjoying myself. When it arrives, I will take better pictures and I will be able to explain about all the extras.

Hello everybody! I can now proudley inform you all that the yoke spring is in the right posision! Juhhuu Thanks to everybody for all help in this matter... Cheers Armand

Can't really understand the comment (Not stainless steel-i mean actual steel) both are composites of Iron. Steel is an alloy = Iron with the introduction of 15% carbon " Though the carbon content can be increased to produce a very hard steel indeed. Stainless steel is the same alloy but with the addition of Chromium and nickel. I've buffed out scratches on stainless using diamond paste ? Also I believe it's suitable on soft metals such as gold. Haven't heard of it being used on acrylic (Normally used for buffing glass) But after reading this thread will give it a go when the opportunity arises Sent from my SM-T585 using Tapatalk

If you're nervous about fitting it, do it inside a clear plastic bag. At least then you can contain the spring if it pops out. I often use a plastic bag when fitting a retaining clip to a chrono pusher. They are really tiny!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
