Clean original mini metal lathe. This has almost all the features of a big metal lathe but shrunken down. Headstock bearings are nice and tight without any noticeable play. Tailstock is tapered so you can remove the spindle in there now and replace with other pieces like chucks (not included). In the pictures the tapered tailstock center is not pushed in all the way but it seats back all the way.
This even has a mini tool post with full adjustment and the post sits on a mini cross slide. This can be put to use and setup to make parts; it does not have to sit on your shelf but it does a really nice job as a display as well. All movements are fully functional and everything spins smooth and tight. This is a collectible lathe that draws stares by everyone who sees it - it is unbelievable how much detail is in such a small unit. In our opinion this lathe is similar in utility and novelty to some of the incredible Swiss mini lathes (Bergeon Swiss novelty and fun but at a more affordable price). To answer a few questions. The chuck uses a regular allen wrench as the key (not included but you probably have it). There is no motor included - only the lathe just like you see it is included. The tool that is shown in the tool post is included. The item "Watchmakers Lathe Nico Lockport, NY 4 Jaw Chuck Metal Mini Jewelers Watch Maker" is in sale since Monday, January 14, 2019.
