Hey clock guys,
I'm about to take delivery of a very clean SIP 1-H jig borer with a good amount of tooling included.
This is SIP's smallest and one of the most accurate jig borers with positional accuracy guaranteed to .00008".
These machines were widely used in the Swiss watch industry and elsewhere.
It was designed precisely for watchmaking and other small, precision jobs.
You can read about this remarkable machine on the great Lathes.uk site.

I'm not sure how I'm going to utilize this SIP once I get it up and running but it is fascinating.
I may sell it too. Those serious about their clockmaking and those who wish to take it to a new level may be interested.
Anyway. it's a very cool machine.

This is the actual SIP I'm getting. Sorry for the sideways pic.
