Sherline is not quite accurate enough for pivot work. Although they do have some great accessories. A watchmakers lathe is better suited, if you can find a cross slide, youll find that its much quicker to use than the sherline. I have a Taig lathe that I use to make bigger parts and tools and it also takes collets. But ive found that my Moseley is much more accurate when re-chucking parts in the lathe than a Taig or Sherline. They are good for other things though, and you may be able to get away with some parts if needed. -

Its great when you discover a new procedure to do something! I usually just chuck it in a collet, as my spindle is very true. -
It only has one bell on the top of the movement for striking the hour. There are three ornaments for the top of the hood, although I left them with the customer. It does look as though there used to be another hammer though. There are some unused holes and components as shown in the pics. Maybe its been removed during its lifetime. It does indeed have a long pendulum and tail, and a sliding cover that hides the pendulum. Very similar to this one, although the one I have here only has the main going weight. The one in the picture has another smaller weight, presumably to drive an alarm function? -

Ive thought about getting a micromotor, but they are so expensive! what are your plans for it? -
It certainly is a Dutch clock. How many bells has it got because proper dutch striking should have two. Looking at the hands its an alarm. Do you have the hood if so can I see it please, at the moment I don't know if it's Frisian, if so it should have a pendulum with a long tail and 3 ornaments on top.
