I do not like the Electronica DROs sold by the ironically named Dro"pros". I imported a higher end version directly from India and still don't love it. I would also not suggest Newall as while they...

That is a very reasonable assumption:) my wife speaks French fairly well which is necessary for functioning down here as there isn't much English.

Thanks Jacques I hadn't see that channel, it will be a good way to practice my French :) I end up watching youtube in English and German but my french is super basic at this point so I haven't gotten...

That is a great deal, I have been trying to find a slotting head for my 13 for years and haven't found one for anything less than silly money. It is one of those accessories that would be nice to...

You might want to talk to Eichenberger Gewinde in Switzerland. They are good people to work with in my experience and the quality for the price is excellent. They have 40x40 ball screws and some...

On my light mill (schaublin 13 with iso 30) I find the my facemill with SEKT inserts works really nicely. I picked up a cheap one to test it out and have been very happy with it. I think mine is 50mm

If you talk to motor companies, they will tell you not to use a vdf with old motors. I have also asked this question online before and have yet to find anyone actually experience a failure due to VFD...

The first thing that occurred to me is I sure hope you have a crane of some sort, those parts are too big to manhandle on ones own. Just taking my Schaublin 13 apart wasn't really possible (safely)...

This is borderline subject matter but it could be rephrased to be more acceptable. The core question is if one should start learning about machine tools with a router or 3d printer which if you don't...

I have been highly sceptical it claims of vibration stress relief (and weathering) for the very reasons listed. There simply isn't enough energy to do anything to a casting and any changes would have...

I have the original manual, but it is unfortunately in storage along with my with workshop. When I first received my 13 the rapids didn't work, the solution there was that one of the switches/circuit...

Yes Languedoc-Roussillon, Aude to be more exact but either end of the Spanish Pyrenees are 5 or 6 hours max drive. Something near Barcelona would be much closer as the roads don't go exactly...

I was also thinking of Eibar, I think there are or at least were many small shops in the area rather than a few big ones such as around Toulouse over in France. I live in the Pyrenees on the French...

I think now I need to find an investment casting foundry in mainland Europe who will work with small orders. The local ones I have found are titanium focused for aerospace and are not going to want...

Thanks for the input guys. The use of form tools makes perfect sense in a pre-cnc world. I guess copying mills could also be used but you do have the same problem of 3d profile milling today in that...

That looks like a nice machine. Nicer than my 135 that should be coming down to France once I get a company set up here (which is a huge pain in the rear) freight companies don't want to ship in from...

This should probably be over on the deckel/Euro mill forum but really it is no problem to bore with a fixed head on a Schaublin 13. It is really better than a quill as it is stiffer and you should be...

You can dig through here and see if anything looks right

I would second the idea it might not Schaublin, the design language is very different from the collet closer on my 135 and if you look at the Schaublin catalogs the design is different on the 102...

The exact role of this machine isn't really important, I think it is something like a Schaublin 70 which are used for watch and clock making although they are not an 8mm collet watch makers lathe.
...

How would this machine (an old watch makers lathe) have been finished? I imagine it would have been sand cast, and then what, hand filed and sanded? I don't suppose they would have had investment...

I would like to have a few iron castings made (around 10kg each) The last time I did this I used a foundry in Scotland but would like to find a foundry on the continent (EU) ideally close to southern...

I would like to have some iron castings made, the last time I did this I used a foundry in Scotland but would like something on the continent (EU) ideally close to southern France. The design calls...

You are going to need a long straight edge of some sort, (cast iron or granite) You can make one using the surface plate as a reference from some continuously cast iron, an old lathe you cut up or...

Yep compound slide. Also the pins should be removable so you can align the tool to a position between the options (or use two pin positions, one for threading and one for everything else)
