Pro Tips

Measure your board first: the threaded shaft must pass through it and still protrude about 1-2mm at the front to take the washer and nut. This 18mm spindle suits boards about 3mm to 7mm; for a thicker board, recess the back or use a wall mounting box, or step up to a longer spindle. Fit the hour hand first, then minute, then second. For a minute hand over about 150mm, use a high-torque movement.

Complete Your Setup

Pair this with matching clock hands (5mm hour hole), a clock dial or resin clock mould, clock numerals, and a hanging hook to build the whole clock in one order and save on shipping.
