Description: This auction is for a boxed Boley & Leinen Reform 8mm watchmakers lathe in good useable condition. Boley & Leinen were one of the leading manufacturers of watchmakers tools and, in my opinion, amongst the best manufacturers of these precision tools. This lathe was probably made in the early/middle of the 20th century. It is in good condition with little or no rust, tarnish or flaking of the nickel as can be seen in the pictures. It is an ideal tool for anyone interested in the repair or restoration of I acquired this lathe several years ago as part of a job lot but have not used it at all. It is taking up precious space so I am now keen to free up some space and generate some cash for new projects! The auction includes:Contemporary wooden box organised for the lathe plus its accessoriesLathe bed good condition with no damageIndexing headstock with drawbar, in good working order. Smooth rotation with no end float.Tailstock with centring runnerOffset runner with (3) cone plates, drilling runner, drawbar and (3) brass colletsCross slide, to work with RHS headstock - complete with tool post and a number of square tool bits.

This approach allowed the purchaser to choose an appropriate 3rd party drive system of which there are many. This item is available worldwide except for Brazil or Russia which I believe have ongoing postage problemsand. It can be purchased through the eBay shipping service or, on request I am happy to post direct but with adequate insurance to cover the full value.
