I would like to understand if the threading for the accesories made for the Sincere lathe (faceplates, chucks, collets, etc) are compatible with the Cowells 90CW lathe. My use case is the fabrication of bridges for existing movements that can be engraved / finished by myself. I would like to start with the cheaper Sincere lathe and accessories, and then upgrade the lathe to the 90CW while keeping all the Sincere accessories. Outside of the actual operation of the lathe, I am quite a novice in the intricacies of accessory threading. I would also like a recommendation (book, online resource, etc) on how to adequaltely assess the compatability between the accessories of two distinct lathes. -
As some of you probably know, I am right now on the way to build my workshop. This does not mean that it is not possible to think into the future. One of the things that I definitely will buy in the future is a lathe. In addition to whether it should be new or slightly used, there is one thing I have come across that I can't figure out ... Collets. 8 mm Collets, I thought. they were similar but it seems that there are many kinds of thread on them. I am, however, reached forward to it either must be B8 or WW collets. ... Is there anyone who can answer what type of Bergeon Collets are? Is it American-WW or B8?
