Not quite, because it is hex with a slot, but perhaps useable, Niko. **LINK**

You can break most of the twist off and regrind what is left. Niko.

127 works fine, just be careful where you put your fingers when you have the cover off. Niko.

Whatever lathe you have, by times you will go to its limits. Myford is for most of the work I do more than large enough. In the picture the exception, it cleared the bed but not by much. Niko.

This one sells 1.30 mm C75 springsteel of 25 mm width **LINK** but no indication of minimum order quantity.

The closest I can find has a thickness (starke) of 1.25 mm, dimensions you can select from 50x50 mm minimum. Hope your German is up to date but they write that it is magnetic and do deliver to the UK. **LINK** https://www.metallparadies.de/stahlblech-glatt-0-75-6-0-mm-staerke-bis-2x1m.html Niko.

Gave up following this thread but do admire the patients responders hat with Brian.

Niko.

I use DIN 1.2510 but as far as I can see it is the same type of steel. Oil hardening goes without problems but small items loose heat very quickly and optimum hardness is then not reached. I hold small parts in tweezers/pliers close to the oil container and quench quickly without hesitation. Niko.

Very sorry for the mistaken gender of Doreen. Niko.

Reading previous posts by Brian, Doreen seems to be a much loved and well used Myford lathe.

No need to save our planet, whatever we do it will be around another 5 billion years or so. Niko.

Thanks Maarten and also Noel.

The pin making machine is technic from the 1980's but still handy to have. It works with wire diameters from 0.15 mm to 0.45 mm in steps of 0.01 mm, although I fed it ones with 0.65 mm brass wire to make pins for a bell movement cylinder. On average it notches a 1000 pins an hour depending on pin length. Niko.

If it has power cross feed than also the keyway in the lead screw has to line up with the key in the bevel pinion. Niko.

Hello Maarten,

This time in English since that is the language of this forum.

Yes, I have done work for Museum Speelklok **LINK** but that was a long time ago. I stopped with working for them, too much problems about money. After 41+ years I am winding down on repair work, done it enough and also because of personal circumstances. You can see and hear some work I have done on **LINK** Niko.

Dag Maarten, dan maar even in het Nederlands welkom heten. Er is hier heel veel kennis en kunde en ze zijn erg aardig en behulpzaam maar soms zijn ze wel een beetje aan het gekken. Zelf zit ik in een plaats 15 km ten noorden van Utrecht, doe niet aan modelbouw maar restauratie van mechanische muziek, voornamelijk uit de 19de eeuw.  Niko.

Probably the diaphragm washer is missing. **LINK** Niko.

I am at an age (65) that my fingers give not much trouble yet, therefore cannot advice you about that. But as you, I like the handwork and can definitely confirm that filing, cutting and sawing etc. goes much better with a Mahler symphony or a Rachmaninov piano concert on. Sun is a bit problematic since it blinds me because of a wrongly placed window. Niko.

I ordered from Madler Germany directly or from their Dutch branche Koppe, for little money they even made it to your spefication, all very friendly and helpfull, just phone or mail them. Do not know of course about Huco but expect them to be the same. Niko.
