I have had my Granddad's watch making lath for 30 years and swore one day i will get that running no motor with it. One of my other play things is Tri-ang railways. And i have just bought a 1950 set with the wrong bits on it so i had to make a new 8 Ba screw with a plain shank and thread. Good enough reason to get the old tiny lath out and get it running so fixed it up with mu electric drill Speed control reverse perfect good plan andy, Got it all running and found i didn't have a collet big enough to hold the screw head so i could turn the shaft dam and blast or something similar.
Nothing else for it make it on the colchester master 2500 and to my amazement no problem and one screw made i am just an amateur self taught on the lathe well pleased with the outcome though.
