Preservation and Restoration of Antiques and Antique Time Pieces 



There is a wide range of collets and work holding material for - Clockmakers - Jewelers - Watchmakers and machinist in General. I'll cover what I find and come across - Tony's UK lathes has a great site and covers many things - over the years I sent him a few photos - if this site can help you - great - this is my personal site for documenting history and restorations and what I deal in on a regular bassis - Thank you for visiting the site - remember while your buying or getting started in Clock - Watch and jewelery repair - Things are not cheap and getting harder to find, " Some " others are a "Dime a Dozen" and not all 8mm lathes - not all 6mm lathes are the same size. Variations are wide spread - TPI Lenght - head space throat and neck - I call different parts in my world different things and not always to standards - with that being said I will be adding a terminology page so you know what I'm talking about - Just go on eBay - you will sratch your head and roll your eyes at time, reading descriptions. Just because it is old , doesn't mean you found tresure in your attic find, heck there are 1000's of tools that are not marked and they are factory some are home made - student made - school of hard knocks made, as long as they complete the mission - then who really cares other than yourself indulgence in the finer things in life. I buy top of the line when I can and make my own tools to fit my needs,
