Paulson lathes are German made to Henry Paulson & Co. specifications.  This lathe is the standard model with plain tailstock, tilt-over tool rest, and double cone bearings of hardened steel.  The bed is WW components compatible.  Spindle bore supports 8mm WW collets, Height of centers is 50mm, and Length of bed 12”.  

• The spindle bearings have been cleaned and lubricated to give like new performance.  Axial backlash has been set to specification.  A head indexing lock pin is included. 
• The tailstock has been taken apart, cleaned, polished, lubricated, reassembled, and backlash set for like new feel.

This lathe is mounted on a Borel cast aluminum base. 

• The casting has been re-machined to provide a flat surface for the bed anchoring bolt and washer.  This ensures the bed is held to the base in a solid fashion. 
• New rubber feet have been installed that are easily replaced vs. the pushed in originals.  
• The motor mount is my custom design and readily supports belt tension adjustment.  This is achieved by a pair of linear bearings that only allow the motor to move forwards and backwards relative to the lathe bed.  When the desired belt tension is found, the moving plate is clamped with a knob. This motor carriage assembly is attached to the bottom of the Borel base. The adjustment motion is restrained by the slot in the moving plate.  The motor is mounted to an adapter plate using 8-32 captive PEM nuts before attachment to the moving plate.  Thus, other motors can be easily mounted for use having different footprints.  
• This solution is rugged and simple to use without the need for any tools vs. any of the solutions presented elsewhere. 

The drive motor is a L&R 1/10hp universal motor. 

• That has been cleaned of brush waste and debris, new bearings installed and oil reservoir pads cleaned and refreshed with new oil, the commutator fingers turned down, undercut, and polished to ensure the best electrical power is conveyed to the windings, and a new power cord.  
• The motor runs quite quiet with this servicing.  
• Speed control is done with a Linemaster Switch Corp Model 650-5C3 foot pedal unit.  Performance is very smooth and the pedal assembly does not slide around on the floor.  
• Wiring is simple as the motor simply plugs into the pedal assembly and the assembly then to the wall outlet.  
• A new round belt has been assembled and installed onto the lathe head assembly.

Overall, this is a fine watchmaker’s lathe, that supports any of the WW accessories, and is ready for many years of quality service.  Lathe will be shipped disassembled.
