Clock Movement Kit | 12mm Shaft | Gold Hands | 12 Markers | Pack of 1 - DIY

Bring your own board to life with this clock movement kit. It has a quartz movement with a 12mm shaft, gold loop hands (hour, minute and second), 12 gold bar hour markers and a metal hanger hook. The shaft must pass through your face and still leave thread for the nut, and 12mm suits thinner boards.

Specifications

Perfect for

• Thin MDF and canvas clock faces
• Vintage look clocks with ornate gold hands
• Decoupage and painted wall clocks
• Replacing a movement in a slim clock

Compatibility

Works with: clock faces, MDF boards and resin dials with a centre hole, where the board is thinner than the 12mm shaft with thread to spare.

Pairs well with: MDF clock bases, resin clock moulds and a strong craft glue to fix the markers.

Not suitable for: boards too thick for the 12mm shaft to clear with thread left for the nut. CMSC12 with a 18mm shaft suits thicker boards.

How to Use

1. Measure your board and check that the 12mm shaft passes through it with a few threads to spare.
2. Drill or cast a centre hole just wide enough for the shaft.
3. Slide the round end of the hanger onto the shaft at the back, hook pointing up towards 12.
4. Push the shaft through from the back, fit the washer and nut on the front and tighten gently.
5. Press on the hour, minute and second hands, all pointing at 12.
6. Fix the 12 markers around the face, insert one AA battery and set the time.

Frequently Asked Questions

What comes in this clock movement kit?
One quartz movement with a 12mm shaft, gold loop hour, minute and second hands, 12 gold bar markers and a metal hanger hook. The battery is not included.

How is this kit different from CMSC12?
This kit has a 12mm shaft and loop hands. CMSC12 has a 18mm shaft and spade hands in the same colour.

Will the 12mm shaft fit my board?
The shaft has to pass right through the board and still show a few threads for the nut. Measure your board first; if the shaft does not clear it with thread to spare, choose the longer kit.

How is a kit different from buying a movement alone?
A movement alone has the movement, washer and nut. This kit adds 3 hands, 12 markers and a hanger, so you only add a board and a battery.
