What a great setup William, your shop is what I aspire to have, one day, in the distant future 😆

It’s nice, and inspirational to see what you have accomplished in such a short time and the knowledge that you have earned.

I told you I would be nice 😆

William:

A really professional shop – and video testimonial for yourself as-well-as Bob. I am speechless!

Superb job!!!!

William:

How did you get the microscope focal point close enough to the lathe to be usefull? It looks like I would have to get mine to with 2.5″ which would foul my QC tool rest. Are you comming into the front of the lathe?

That’s a nice setup.

Thanks!
Tom

Tom, it is set at the proper height as you see it, it is about a 5″ focal point. exactly as you say is why I invested in these 2 microscopes as they give the room needed. I do have a amscope that I had initially used over the watchmakers lathe, I use that now for other applications. I havent had the time to try it yet but I was thinking about using mirrors in the background and sides to get views from other angles, not sure if it will work or not? William

William:

I have an AmScope too. That;s kind of what I was thinking – that I needed something with a longer focal point. So, two questions…

1) What type of microscope are you using for the lathe?

2) What type of articulating arm that you are using?

Thanks!

Tom, take a look at page 2 very bottom of my shop, shows 2 of the microscopes I use over the lathe, William

Thanks again for sending me that video William! You did a beautiful job on it. I think visitors to the site will enjoy your shop tour and will like hearing that tools and machines can be purchased at reasonable prices if they search around a bit and get creative like you’ve done. Really cool video!
Gracias again!
Bob

William you are an inspiration to us all. I am truly impressed. Weren’t you in Dances With Wolves! Mahlon

[willofiam]

Hey Mahlon, dances with wolves is my all time favorite movie, neat time you chat with Kevin Costner put a plug in for me. William

Very good job on the video. Now I’m going to show my wife so I can justify my watch tool spending sprees!

Willaim:

What is the brand of the microscope you are using? I’m looking to use the same setup as you.

Thanks!
Tom
