Hi René! Welcome to HomemadeTools.net!

I'm always amazed by clockmakers and their tools. The craft requires deft hands, precision, and a ton of skill. Can't wait to see your tools.

Hi René,

Welcome!

I'm looking forward to seeing your photos of the clockmaker's lathe. What sort of clocks and/or watches interest you?

Hi Al and Ken.
Thanks for the warm welcome.
At this moment I am not working on any clock. I am just completing my lathe.
In the daily life I am a R&D instrumentmaker for surgical instruments to help with eye surgery.

René,

The TOS MN80A lathe is a beautiful small lathe and having most of the accessories is a real bonus. You will be able to make just about any small part. I am looking forward to seeing and learning more about your lathe and projects.

Welcome, Paul

Hi tool makers
As prommised some photo's of my lathe.
I had no time to clean the machine

And a lot more, but I will show them when they are in use.
I hope then they are not up side down

The TOS MN80A clockmakers lathe looks very new yet I thought the last ones were built in the 1990's. A well maintained lathe with a fantastic set of TOS accessories. Thanks for the photos.
