Thanks Mark! I will try. I like your Youtube videos very much. Great tutorials! Thanks

Is it possible to remove the dial face from this model( Superflat 1960)?There are not any screws on the side to undo it. The gold pieces does not stay in place and it is not easy to put it back when they come out. I would like to fix them with shellack like you fix the stone in one of your video.

      Broken barrel arbor.

      Can't do alum as the arbour is metal.  I did try a drill in my dremel. But was unable to hold it secure. Need a lathe. Still thinking about one of those 9 in 1 lathes on Ali.

      All the seitz anvils and pushers fit the 4mm clone and I use my Star stumps in the clone base as well. Its not a definite answer but Bergeon and Star lathe accessories are compatible so its possible the staking tool is the same fit. Try contacting Cousins for an accurate measurement.

      Thanks @VWatchie - I didn’t know that, I thought they’d be suitable for wrist watch sized cannon pinions, but maybe not.  What’s your experience of the Bergeon 4733?  Big expense for a set of end cutters with a threaded screw, but no-one else makes them, there aren’t any clones and I might not succeed in my quest to build @Canthus’ toenail clipper tool to do the job.  There’s a B 4733 sitting in my Cousins shopping cart but I’m exploring other options before I buy it.  I’d love to hear your experience of the 4733.

      Cannon Pinion Tightening Tool

      By Zendoc · Posted

      Yes, Nev, that’s exactly what’s happening.  The bit is sliding all over the chrome surface and can’t get a bite into the underlying steel.  I’m using a cobalt bit.  I’ve used a punch.  They’re quite the tough toenail clippers.  I might have to dig a bigger pit through the chrome with something else and see if I get some tooth that way. I was hoping there’d be a bit to deal with this, but I’ll keep trying and might swap to a tungsten carbide bit and see if I have any luck.  Thanks for your comments.

      I can't answer your question right now but I have these in my Seitz jewelling tool and my impression is that they are made for large, pocket watch size, cannon pinions. I prefer the Cannon Pinion Tightening Tool, Bergeon 4733. Perhaps the pusher and stump could be dressed to work better with small and normal cannon pinions!?
