In terms of punch width/tolerance, what’s important to me is that the punches can grip the tool hole well enough such that they don’t drop and can smoothly be adjusted in height (especially when the punch is going onto a balance wheel).

I have a Simonet 450 lathe. Its a bit of work to do on it. But it works. Though, unfortunately missing the milling and grinding equipment. And some W20 collets. And yes. Not only strange pitch threads on them. They are expensive as they were made I gold. Nice quality though!  Bit big for watch work I want to learn about. So also looking for a 6 or 8mm collet lathe. Dream would be a F3 mill to play with too. Hopefully in the future. ?

I had a Simonet 450 for a while but sold it on before ever really running it. Very very nice machines. Milling and grinding attachments for Schaublin 102 should work fine. W20 collets are quite plentiful secondhand and sell for far less than the W12, which so many Schaublin 70 owners are constantly looking for.

 

I have a Schaublin 102, which is the same center height as the Simonet 450. I find that with that and my 8mm (50mm center height) lathe I can cover everything I've needed to do, the perfect combination. I had a 70 for a short while and sold it on, just a little too big for small work and a little too small for bigger work, haha.

Not wanting to interrupt the staking thread. But a 8mm with crosslide would be nice. Maby grinding tools. But we well c what one can find. ?

Some further info on this thread.

I found a seller on eBay with NOS Marshall staking stakes and stumps. (eBay seller btlgrd - he also has a fair bit of Levin lathe parts) I will be ordering the one broken one, as well as a couple sizes that were not included with my set when sold new- I will then have every stake and stump Marshall made (and probably use 1/10th of them in my lifetime...)

I am attaching a couple pages that those with Marshall sets may find useful when searching for stakes and stumps. Note that Marshall did not mark their stumps, and measuring is the only way to identify them. Also, stakes are identified OPPOSITE they way they are shown in the paperwork- so a L7 stake (the one that I have broken) is physically marked on the stake as 7L. This is important if you are hunting, and the seller may not know this...

I also found a closed eBay listing which included some K&D stakes along with the Marshall set- sizes are "in between" the Marshall sizes, and I added that note below as well. Good info for those needing a slightly different size.

I finally, today, got around to placing the order. Seller combined shipping for me, so I only paid that once.

Smooth transaction so far, and these stakes are brand new, still in cosmoline! Grab them if you need them!

He could probably make a full set for you; but at $4 each, that could get pricey... He may do a special deal on a full set as well. Worth asking, if you have a nice tool with rusted, nasty stakes.

I missed this whole thread...

But anyway, I too have a Marshall set and have purchased from this seller. His stock is stunning. I've never asked where he got it all but it sure is fun to look at. Still packed in cosmoline and wrapped in wax paper, in original crates.

Love my set btw.

Yes, mine were well coated but cleaned up perfectly. I have every available stake with none broken (yet). 

if I could get that incabloc spring done I’d feel better about it but there is no way you are doing something like that without this tool.

      Like losing Ranfft. That was a wake up call. We took his website for granted. Miss him terribly.

      Its 4 o'clock in the morning here in the Uk, i cant sleep, i dont sleep, not much ever really. My brain never shuts off to rest, I'm just a constant thinker, i have to be very tired to be able to sleep,  i guess eventually it will be my undoing and my health will suffer because of it I'm sure. But while I'm here i want to get as much out of life as i can, and give as much as i can, to help,maybe to make a difference to someone's life if that is within my capability,recent events have made that need even more clear to me. I'm not sure where I'm going with this or why i bring it up , or if its relevant to want i want to talk about its just in my head right now. What i do want to talk about is something thats been on my mind for ages. I like to be prepared,  I'm not fond of surprises because surprises take control away and i am a bit of a control freak at times. This forum, Our Forum if i can call it that, is here because of two reasons. The guy that created it and keeps it funded and the people that joined it.  Without either, it would not exist, and lets face it one day it won't ( I'm a realist and i talk about things others dont or who are afraid to in other words folk that dont particularly prepare for the inevitable). How many of us visit here regularly ?  How many among us almost depend on the forum as a way of socialising because they are stuck at home and how many of us has it become part of a daily routine to check in and see if they can offer advice or get help with something they are working on or just to have a chat and engage in some banter. The members here are in the thousands and thousands have disappeared over the years many had just a fleeting visit. But there are a good few of us that know each other quite well and visit regularly. I dont know about you but i wouldnt want to lose that communication with you all, in all honesty it has become an important part of that side of my life and helps to feed my passion for all things watches. Some of you may think differently and thats ok, some of may stop and think # what would i do " Without Our Forum " #

      Naptha appears to be a general name and its content can be varied depending upon what it's specific use is. Lighter fluid as an example can be light or heavier also with other ingredients to help it burn. Try sesrching for benzine ( as opposed to benzene which is linked to causing health issues ) . There are other fluids such as ethanol that you could try and also methylated sprirts, mostly ethanol with a small percentage of methanol added. Experiment with any new chemical to see how quickly schellac dissolves in its presence. I have tried a few things but hexane is not one of them, i understand it does evaporate very quickly.  Be sure sure to check out any safety data on chemicals you try. Toxicity of fumes and flash point information, ultrasonic machines can heat up fluids even without a heater function. And of course always ask here for personal opinions when trying a new substance.

      What tools does ebay have to offer this week.

      By GuyMontag · Posted

      I have that set and really like it. I prefer that crystal holder over the one that came with my Bergeon claw tool and any time I use the claw I use this one instead of the Bergeon one, just an additional bonus with this tool.

      Is the Roamer not a split stem? I'm confused on your how your case is put together. If it is a front loader where is it you are putting the case screws? I love me some Roamer, do you have any photos?
