I don't consider the "mini lathe" remotely derivative from any typical watchmakers lathe. Other than the aspect of "small", they are completely different.? The mini lathe is an "engine lathe" and is just a scaled down version of larger lathes of that type. Charles E. "Chuck" Kinzer

the evolution of the " mini lathe " that ya need to be having a
conversation about the Loarch , Levin & other watch
makers/jewelry lathes . I let a watch makers lathe get away from
me many years back for 200 bucks , there must have been 50 collets
that came with among other tools & attachments . I'm still
kickin myself on that one . animal On 1/13/24 11:29 PM, Charles Kinzer

Good video, as usual.? Yes,
as he said those are quite collectible now and fetch a lot of
money,
I acquired a MasterSon
incarnation one in about 1964 from a friend, actually used it
to make some model railroad parts, and then just stored it
away until I foolishly sold it.? I bought another many years
later that came with the VERY rare carrying case.? The
lathes.co.uk site has my photos of that MasterSon lathe with
the case.
If you want to read much
more, see many more photos, ads, etc. here is the link to the
first page of several at lathes.co.uk for these things.

Swing obviously plays some part in this' but an Atlas /Craftsman 6x18" with its greater weight, and rear mounted motor is much less portable than a 7x14. |
