Question about watchmakers lathe uses
Saw this on eBay, it already sold:
Rare Boley F1 8mm WW Instrument and Watchmakers Lathe Made in Germany Boley's most precise 5 day Auction!! Item number: 5056628181 My question is this: What can you do on this that you cannot do on a new condition quality lathe. I have a like-new Colchester 13" and am wondering what this watchmakers lathe can do that I can't... I consistently work in 0.001 specs with no problem, If I have a full set of collets and a collet drawbar, what would keep me from working as precisely with my lathe as I could with the watchmakers lathe mentioned above? Thanks all..... John |
