Best Watchmaker Lathe-Mill For Sale near BERTHA AL

All in all, for the watchmaker near BERTHA AL, they offer the perfect setup. Additionally, the price is far better than a Swiss machine. Next they offer two brushless motor options; 750 watt and 1200 watt. I can’t foresee a watchmaker needing more than the 750 watt model. According to GlockCNC.com, they could sell you the lathe complete with their. This makes perfect sense because those gears are pounding against each other and still must keep accurate time. When accuracy of your lathe cuts down, so does everything else. Until now, there weren’t a lot of options to turn a Taig to a machine much like a Swiss excellent lathe. That’s all changed over the last few years. A small company in Michigan called GlockCNC.com currently makes strategically done updates.

Two upgrades specifically. To begin with, they have produced there own heavy duty headstock and spindles. Why is this great news for the watchmakers and clockmakers? Normally, the OEM Taig lathe uses a really tiny dovetail system for it’s headstock. GlockCNC.com uses a much thicker chuck of aluminum with no”air gap” between the headstock and the mattress. This allows for better energy handling from vibration. Let’s look at the headstock itself. If you place the OEM headstock right alongside the GlockCNC headstock, you instantly seem the difference. The OEM looks almost wimpy by comparison. The GlockCNC casing has far more metal in it and allows for much bigger 62mm OD bearing. This, then, allows for a larger spindle to be used. The simple fact of the matter is, that, more spindle mass equals better vibration dampening. Let’s talk about those spindles for a watchmakers lathe.

Their spindle includes a 30mm OD and they shrink fit the bearings. They offer ER25, ER32, ER40 as well as the enormous ER50 collet chuck spindles. The through hole is from .30″ to .89″, determined by which ER spindle arbor you choose. I would suspect that many watch makers will be using the ER25 or ER32. This allows for very precision workpiece. Plus, the collets can be found anywhere. GlockCNC offers .0002″ TIR collets (that is about as accurate as you will get). In addition to that, they also have adjustable ER nuts to dial out any remaining runout. Of course, if you work piece isn’t straight, then it will make it a challenge to dial out the runout. But, what could be done is make your cut, turn the piece around then use the adjustable nut to dial out the TIR.
