If you enter these words inside double quotes on the search box top right you will have all the relevant discussions to learn at least the basics. 

Would you show a double quotes, is it  like this ""    or this  ((          😩

I think what jdm is trying to put over in double quotes is        "hairspring"    The quotes as such ive it a try

Not for "hairspring", for single word searches no quoting is necessary. The original question was about "timing screws" and "timing washers", to search for that literally you need to use double quotes, otherwise an OR search of all words entered is performed.

Hi  just trying to give an example of the use on the double quoted

Pardon my pedantry. Unfortunately the search function of the forum is not the best around, it doesn't even do all what it promises, so I was trying to explain one thing that at least does right.

      Any tips to correct a sloppy error?

      By rjenkinsgb · Posted

      Two pins or screwdrivers angled out slightly, pressing through from the barrel centre from the opposite side so they contact just clear of the hole in the lid? eg. Strap pin driver needles or similar.

      That's a good idea - shrinking down the nut and wrench size from the old casebook trick!

      Movement holder made with 3D printer

      I missed this earlier. The dial isn't going into the holder, it should sit proud of it. This is what I am currently using which I print for each different movement.

      Setting lever spring

      By Neverenoughwatches · Posted

      I didn't think pulling to set position would work harden the spring, in that position it is stressed where the arm starts. By work hardening i meant rapid polishing at that point, a bit like polishing a pivot work hardens as it compresses the steel. I doubt polishing by hand would achieve much in that respect though. Its finished, arm polished up mostly at the join to the bridge's main body. I'm ok with it, the screw holes aren't great as i had to open them up by redrilling and positioning it was difficult, I'm not much use with a loupe, opening up with a file might be a better option for me or i could just use the correct drill size 😅. And the detent is way too deep, i had to guess that with the stem release out of position and sat on top, but i only took one measure and went for it, no slowly slowly catch your monkey 😅. First go I'm happy , well sort of, it works and thats a big thing for me, next one will have a bit more finesse.  Anyone thats interested, after filing, i used a 2000 grade home made diamond  micro file and then 20 micron film, the film is much better than wet and dry, more stable to use and doesn't shed cheap grade grit everywhere , then auto polish on a sponge pad.

      I'm assuming that every time you set the watch you are work hardening the detent spring, maximum hardening is  where it meets the plate due to maximum deflection.   That's why it snaps there.  The Young's modulus may be the same but after it's reached its maximum yeid strength it breaks.  My mechanic engineering is very rusty, correct me if I'm wrong.
