Took a punt on this from the bay and trying to get some advice on how it would be used.

 

The seller mentioned its a lapping or snailing tool that sits in the t rest of the lathe.

 

The only way i can see this working is this tool is turned sideways and the larger wheel is spun in the opposite direction by another motor to the part in the late and pushed against the face of the larger wheel.

 

have to see when i get it but , is that the case or is this just half of what i need, 

 

Thanks in advance

      Hello from the Philadelphia area

      Hello, looking forward to participating on the forum here! I will mostly be listening and asking questions since I am an amateur hobbyist. I have most of the beginner hand tools and a Timegrapher. The extent of my tinkering consists of a successful Seiko 7S26 to NH36 movement swap inside an all original 1997 SKX007, along with a bunch of battery changes for friends and family. I have yet to tackle full disassembly and cleaning. Right now, I don't really have the budget or time to invest in a cleaning setup (even manual cleaning), but hopefully soon! I joined because I recently purchased a mechanical Timex Camper from 1994, and my searches for information regarding servicing and swapping out these Timex mechanical movements consistently led me to Watch Repair Talk. There is also a wealth of knowledge here about dial design, another area of interest for me. My other hobbies includes leather working (mostly small pieces, shoes eventually), crochet, sewing (would love to make clothing), design (especially type design), home espresso, cocktails, and tennis. I want to buy a film camera, but I don't need yet another expensive hobby involving last-century technology. Yes, I have ADHD.
