Thanks all for the good advice. I’ll try soldering up the split first, planning to introduce a little solder into the hole at the same time, and then file it with a very fine rat tailed file.

For the cost and trouble of getting new hands and buying broaches if you don't have them, maybe either give up or get a different movement.

Hello, Frank! I am currently mounting a DRO on the Z axis and it is not easy to do. I am with you on making a set of resettable dials on the other two axis. In fact I might abandon the DRO entirely if

I am interested in either purchasing or making a set of adjustable handwheels for a DB 200 lathe. in searching the forum there were some posts mentioning that there were some being made and sold in

There are several suppliers of clock parts - Timesavers is one that I use regularly but there are others as well. You should be able to get a new set of hands there (Klockit is another one I have

Can you solder or braze the crack?? Car guys do "dimple dies" to thicker and heavier metals. Maybe something like that would help? You? could solder/braze the hole to fill it and repair the crack,

Thanks Paul - the hands are ferrous I think, they stick to a magnet. Solder is a great idea, in fact if that works it may be worth cutting a split in the other hand and expanding and ‘fixing’ it

What are the hands made from? Can the split be soldered? Or can you solder a piece of metal (e.g. brass) to the rear, file to suit and drill? As for opening up small holes 5 sided tapered broaches

Thanks for the ideas… it’s actually split but it’s worth a go, nothing to lose I guess!

Correction to my post of a moment ago..? The word "busying" should of course be "bushing." Charles E. "Chuck" Kinzer

I think you might be able to reduce the hole size on the minute hand by pounding on the piece in that area to "flatten" it a little more.? The material has to go someplace, and the hole should close

Happy New Year all ! ?I’m after advice from horologists, or just those used to making tiny things! I’m fitting a small quartz clock movement into a small, broken clock. The face is nice, but the

That's the first thing I thought of when I saw this.

My MOST important lesson from the Erector Set Motor was "In running pinch points". Getting my finger stuck in the gears really hurt, but I didn't loose anything. Carl.

Hi Gang: For a feed rate, count the turns you use by hand. One second per turn perhaps? So 60 rpm might be a good starting point. Although the cuts are so short on the Unimat I never set up the

The Erector motor can also be easily geared to various speeds and shifted into neutral or reverse. The Erector was my favorite toy when I was a kid back in the 1950s and learned a lot from it. I

John, I use 24volt DC motors for my Unimat. I know I have said this before, but the convenience of variable speed, reversing,and Quiet Operation are a big plus! Just dial your infinite speed-and away
