Lorch 6mm Watchmakers Lathe - Part 1 - Overview

hey welcome to shop we got mail this showed up today in the mailbox it's a woody crate and it's pretty heavy it's lost 20 kilograms I know what's in it and I want to show it to you while I do it while I open up the package so let's take a look and we got a lot of newspaper and the newspaper there is a motor a pretty old school looking motor and we have some accessories grinding wheel a like a face plate a very cute four jaw Chuck or four four jaw face plate call it's very much Kaulitz looks like this looks like a full set of columns starting by 0.6 millimeters going up to five millimeters we have oh this is nice dissipate grinding and milling spindle using the six millimeter kaulitz here yeah I don't know what's this yet I will find out something that looks like a hat stock a very small tool rest for hand turning another faceplate and I think these are tool posts to chuck keys for the poor child Shack that's a beauty that's a cross slide a very small cross slide this should be a rod with a flat I will show you what this is all when when I'm done unboxing this is any small tailstock very small Lakes dogs oh yeah and we have a motor with speed adjustment I think these are calls for polishing mode you can look that up on Wikipedia it runs on single-phase for under 20 volts berating la mode or this 125th of an horsepower that's a brute of a motor and zero to twenty eight of Directors rpm this is very nice piece and and it's quite heavy for its size but this is a lord six millimeter watchmakers late and it's complete with headstock with plain bearings I think piece meal or have steel bearings running again or a harmed ground steel shaft running in hardened steel earrings so this should and it feels pretty pretty damn accurate and we have to cross light which has an incredible fine pitch and and if you directions opposite to my normal way for a facing cut you have to turn counterclockwise that's a bit might need some time to get used to there is the compound slide that can be put on an angle figure out where to operate this and a tail stock little female and they all know that Center okay for distort I put everything together I'm using the D shaped round bed bowler I put my head stuck on it with the this feels like rubber to rubber belt and D motor behind it driving the pulley and I put the plus slide on it which can be moved on the lakebed and clamped in position so they can do you're turning work and also I have the Hat stuck in place lubricated through these two holds a very thin oil for from my understanding I'm going to use a easel five spindle oil okay i clamped a piece of five millimeter drill rod in a collet put a turning tool in it and I took a test cut it's it's running pretty smooth okay the headstock itself is running that smooth the motor makes some noises and turning itself works very nice scan here this is mostly the sound of the motor we had stock runs incredible smooth and Turing's don't get hot as I can feel I let it run for about 10 minutes and earrings gov hands warm I think that's I think that's okay ah first will taking the tester the inverted feet screws are our strange thing okay I put everything and back in the box for okay for now I put everything back in the box and I don't know where everything belongs because if you look the pictures off this box up and Internet everybody puts stuff in different positions so this is what I came up with I have two late bat with the tailstock and you had stock here I have the the gapped pad I have the running spindle down here some of the turning tools and gravis are down here also the cross slide sits back here and the hands among rest is in this compartment back here I have to give up some parts of this box as they are loose here in front is the set of color they range from point three millimeters up to five millimeters then these I don't exactly know what these are mm I think they are something like a rose one there is a I don't know the exactly term you put this in the tailstock and use it like a like a steady rest it has different diameters ranging from very small to bigger and you use it to support very thin diameters then there is this pulley where I don't know right belongs to right now this is a dead center with drive plate for the headstock another tool rest for the hand turning post this is a grinding table you put this on bed you cut D so you put this grinding wheel in the headstock and you put this table in your tool rest and then you have a small bench grinder I think back then when these machines were mostly used and I watch make a shop this was the only machine tool in the whole shop so it has to do a whole lot of a whole range of works like turning and turning with a graver of rehan turning grinding also drilling and grinding with or cylindrical grinding with the grinding spindle so this is a check of all trades a bit I think this is a good turning center is true you screw it into your workpiece and then you can work on good knife I'm just I'm I'm pretty excited about this little late because I always wanted a watchmakers late and and now I got one and it's often very very good shape and the accessories the came with it are it's such a matter that you can use the machine it's not a racket it's it's usable it's it's all usable stuff also there was this Ford Shaw faceplate with in the package with independent or movable jaws which looks like which is a pretty good-sized forces this small late but I will try it out and last there is this spell chuck it has eight screws all around and can be used to clamp strange shaped parts with the set screws you can adjust their orientation in every direction and also it's from a safety standpoint this is horrible if you have pretty much possibilities to to smash your fingers with this and also be your wrenches fit these the wrenches in fact are also very nice made there turned from hardwood and nicely finished and with a broach internal square and all around there just nicely made and everything in this box it's just made to a very high standard this is the cross slide you can see it's nickel-plated II ball cranks are very nice shaped you get dials on all the cranks and dials are even movable they are split and they are held on by friction the the compound slide can also be if you loosen this this disk lamping madison can also be set over to turn tapers so I'm putting this aside for a moment because I first have to gather some more informations about this machines about the accessories about the use of the different parts and there is more to come but for now thank you for watching and have a nice day okay I just figured out that I can't close the box with cross lights landing it standing in this position so I put it down here so again thank you for watching
