Vintage G. Boley T-Bed 8mm Watchmakers Lathe Set + Collets & Tailstock

Description:
Up for sale is a beautiful piece of precision German engineering, perfect for clock restorers, watchmakers, or vintage tool collectors in WA. This is a genuine G. Boley (Esslingen, Germany) 8mm watchmakers lathe featuring the highly respected, rigid T-section bed on a wooden base. Please note: No motor is included.

What’s Included:

• G. Boley T-Bed: Heavy-duty T-profile alignment rail mounted on a wooden bench board. Features original factory matching stamps ("1 1") on the bed flange.
• Headstock & Tailstock: Free-spinning 8mm headstock paired with the hard-to-find, matching T-bed profile tailstock.
• Tool Rest Base: Includes the flip-over style tool rest holder clamped to the bed.
• 8mm Collet Starter Set: Includes a standard set of 11 watchmaking collets for various component sizes.
• BONUS PREMIUM SIZE: Comes with the highly sought-after No. 32 (1/8") collet, allowing you to easily chuck standard, off-the-shelf imperial metal stock without machining it down first.

Condition: Beautiful vintage patina. All mechanical components slide, lock, and move smoothly on the T-rail. Because it comes with both the tailstock and a starter set of collets, it is a mechanically complete foundation—just add your own motor or foot-wheel drive setup to get turning.
Location: Perth, WA. Local pickup preferred. Happy to pack securely if the buyer wants to arrange an interstate courier.
