Often times the belief is when you're making small parts you Need a small lathe like a watchmaker's lathe to make small parts. But for gear cutting its oftentimes better to have something bigger. Then realistically you might end up with several things not just one machine for everything. Depends upon your machining skills and the equipment you have. This is where having a slightly bigger equipment allows you to make all kinds of things where if you have a tiny equipment you can not really make bigger stuff it's very awkward. Then indexing is all kinds of ways to do indexing a very popular way is with the stepping motor a worm gear like at the link below https://www.ebay.com/itm/191714031261 What's interesting with something like this is you can micro step at end up with basically a infinite quantity of indexing. But you still have to build some things. For instance here's an interesting YouTube channel and an interesting video. His watchmaker's lathe is a little bigger than what I'm typically used to for watchmakers lathe. As a rather interesting cross slide and notice he makes just about everything. Then he gets the indexing something purchased surplus but it's basically just a worm gear stepping motor his has way more hands-on control but it does the exact same thing as the one up above. Then if you read the description of the video is in a shop of creative people to build all kinds of nifty things like the stepper motor controller etc. -
Yes they are a silly price. Fortunately the 10ml Moebius bottle has a metal gauze in the top, so no need for a separate bottle. They shouldn't be! Mad idea. I changed them for coloured ones -
There were colourless cap jewels on an oris 581 KIF I was looking at. I was convinced I’d lost them when I put the jewel into heptane and couldn’t find the caps. I didn’t know colourless ones were a thing! -
I meant these: Glad that my medium-to-short-term memory is still functioning ok😀 -
It was a Tissot movement I saw this one on; the 27b-21
