I have started constructing watches and now I’m looking to make cases. I need to find a cheap lathe that will allow me to turn the correct measurements for fitting a crystal.  Can anyone recommend a cheap large that will do the job for me? 

 

Thank you in advance

You will not get the precision needed to make a case by buying a cheap lathe. What sean1996 has suggested are only polishing or grinding motors.

It doesn't need to be large, but I'd say that for case work a small watchmaker lathe is not recommendable either. See my thread for choices
