Hiya T. Its a diashock spring press. It has three teeth that push down on the prongs of the diashock spring. Press down and turn to lock it in place . You can use a tooth pick with a hollowed out end. I did make one and was amazed how well it worked. I used a cordess dremel type tool to shape the pick.

I feel like @Mark has quite a few new tools in this latest video! Like the automatic oilers.

…and some surface friendly plastic stuff 🙂

I’ve never seen those for sale. Maybe @Mark could point us in the right direction where to get them? I suppose it may also be possible to get a plastic rod that fits in a screw driver, then shape it into a wedge…

On the other hand, I have found that contact with acrylic plastic discolours movement plates after a period of time, so I would prefer to get watchmaker grade stuff.

Hi Mark.

Can I ask what grease you used in this video for the braking grease, I know you usually recommend 8217 but what you used seemed too dark to be 8217 are you using something else these days or were my eyes playing tricks and it was 8217 that you used.

Thanks.

Paul

      A lathe with indexing that won't break the bank?

      Got it. So a WW lathe will have that graduated drive pulley for different speeds and similar setup for the bed and tailstock, but they won't be fully compatible with one another in terms of parts. Thanks! The picture helps a lot.

      Excellent info, thank you! So when you say "conforms to the standard" does that mean, for example, that parts are interchangeable between brands and ages, or that you could use accessories built for that 110-year old one on a newer one that was built in the 1990s? Also, thank you for taking the time to answer my questions and your patience.

      It was first a brand, but became a standardized style. So you will find some older lathes actually marked "Webster Whitcomb" and many other makers who built WW lathes conforming to the same dimensions for spindle height, bed shape, attachment setup, collet size and design. https://www.lathes.co.uk/derbyshire/ So when someone mentions a WW lathe today, they are talking about any lathe that conforms to the standard, which could be a 110 year old American made lathe or a European made lathe from the 1960s or something else.

      Hi guys, just a little thank you for the CLOCKBARN site in America.  I purchased a TIMETRAX APMLIFIER to help with setting clocks in beat from CLOCKBARN it arrived on time and when tested worked ok.  A week later I had occasion to need it again, this time nothing the unit was dead. Checked out batteries , probes etc , nothing.    I messaged CLOCKBARN  to this effect.  I got a prompt reply that he would send a replacement which duly arrived today and having tested it it’s ok.  So I can recommend the site should you need to use it. The person,persons who run it are genuine guys.  So thank you CLOCKBARN  for your excellent service.
