Description:
Up for sale is a high-quality precision watchmaking and clock restoration setup, perfectly suited for local hobbyists, horologists, or vintage tool collectors in WA.What’s Included:

  • Lathe Bed & Headstock: Genuine G. Boley (Esslingen, Germany) WW-style 8mm lathe frame. Prismatic bed is crisply stamped with factory serial number: 9395.
  • Motor & Stand: Vintage Hamilton Beach home utility motor mounted on its original cast iron integrated bench bracket. PLEASE NOTE: This is an original US 110V motor. It is fully working and runs smoothly, but must be run through a standard 240V-to-110V step-down transformer. Do not plug directly into AU 240V mains power.
  • Tool Rest: Includes the essential tip-over style T-rest holder base clamped directly to the bed framework.
  • Premium 8mm Collet Starter Set: A curated assortment of 11 precision metric collets perfectly sized for watch/clock repair (includes balance pivot micro-sizes up to heavy sizes for rod stock).
  • BONUS SIZES INCLUDED: Comes with the highly sought-after No. 32 (1/8") and No. 48 (3/16") collets, allowing you to easily chuck standard, off-the-shelf imperial metal stock without machining it down first.

Condition: Beautiful vintage patina. Mechanical components move freely and the motor functions exactly as intended when supplied with 110V. Typical for a workshop find, you will just need to add a tailstock and a simple T-bar rest to complete your ultimate custom bench setup.
Location: Perth, WA. Local pickup preferred. Happy to safely pack if the buyer wishes to arrange an interstate courier.
