Nice, looks brand new, I'm jealous as I'm currently trying to find a replacement for my beat up Japanese jewelling set

Nice lathe, I just got a 'new to me' motor for my lathe and need to make up a mounting so I can fit it this week.

Use sewing machine motor and a counter shaft, works great.

For a newbie, what in the world is this used for?? :huh:
It's a tool kit used for fitting and removing bushes and jewels from watches or clocks. It has some other uses but that is the primary function.
The set above is a very nice example.

Cool, i have seen these around ebay when scavenging around for vintage tools but had no clue it was even related to watchmaking. Makes more sense now.

Three lathes configured with countershafts and using sewing machine motors. Boley, Boley Leinen and Peerless0d0fb8ac2217a6d7dcbe125ae033a8e0.jpgeb17387c014a0dbade881629bca972d2.jpgPlus I made two leather belts.

I landed this from a great guy. I will now need to sell my ruler gauge, seitz jeweling set and my plate holding device, as this set has it all.

Lovely set JD.  Is it all complete?

I think it is almost complete. I looked at the Seitz manual and compared it and found that some pieces were just in the wrong place, like those collets on the bottom left. There are only a few open holes. I really wanted the pivot straightening device as they are usually 300 bucks alone. I already have the lower seitz kit and a jeweled ruler and the plate holding device. So the plan is to put all the parts in the right place, determine the gaps and if I really need to fill them. And then sell the individual items I currently have. It should arrive Monday.

I managed to pick up pretty much all that you have there JD, only not as a dedicated set.  I really do like boxed sets of tools like that.

I have duplicates of almost all except the pivot straightening device which typically goes for around 300 on eBay and 450 new.

Here are my lathes that aren’t mounded on a Borel Base with countershafts (of which I have 3) with one mor in the mail, that’s 10 lathes. I have a small collection I guess. All cleaned and running.a0dac2c8c0d1230dea71e123c5e2eb1e.jpg
