not trying to confuse here but there are different types of pin-vises, the one shown in particular looks to have square shoulders on the inside part that holds, if you tighten it too tight on the round part of the stem it could leave indentions that will wear the main-plate opening, especially on mechanical works, it is great to have for all kinds of stuff though, there is another type and maybe the opposite end of the one shown is this way, and that is that it has a round inside for holding round objects keeping it smooth and not maring the stem, the squeaking and tightness could be remedied by as said above and maybe un-screw end and look to see if any burrs or ruff surface is apparent, some of the new tools are not as refined/finished as the older tools......I hope this helps

      Looking for advice on removing the glass and bezel

      By Zendoc · Posted

      Thanks for the tips, @Jon and especially for the video demo. I’ve struggled with this and knew there must be a better way.  I’m always fearful of the potential for inflicting damage, but the method you show allows for better control in the process.  Great tip too about dulling the blade with 400 grit paper.   Big thanks.

      DIY Cleaning Machine

      Sorry, hadn't made any progress on that project.  Had family issues come up and took time off from watchmaking.  Still using my budget machine based on a lab stirrer motor and a lazy susan turntable.   I fit the main plate in the tray first and then place (stuff is more like it) the mainspring on top.  The tray is tall enough to accommodate both.

      Bonjour et bienvenue. Merci pour l'introduction ... which is the extent of my French.

      That was the problem. The search results all looked like either they were for engraving or were little more than a dowel with a ferule jammed on the end.

      Appreciation Post

      This is just to say a heartfelt thank you to everyone who hangs out on this forum. I was browsing one of the bigger watchmaking Reddit subs today and was struck (as usual) by just how comically bad the advice tends to be over there, and how poorly researched or formulated so many of the questions are. What a difference here on this old fashioned web forum. I've been around here about two years now and every time I arrive with a question, I get a bunch of thoughtful responses from experienced hobbyists and working professionals, without any snark or condescension. For years, I was a major contributor (still on some global leader boards!) on the computer programming site Stack Overflow; the techies here know what I mean. That place is famously unkind to new members and non-professional programmers, with required adherence to a bunch of strict community customs and no tolerance for questions from people who just don't know yet what they need to ask. In fact, a lot of others in my specific areas of specialty over there really disliked me for wanting to take time to tutor novices. It's such a different world here. Any little watchmaking hurdle, no matter how commonplace, begets a stream of really helpful advice that solves the immediate issue and then anticipates the next one. It's been great for skill building. And without the peanut gallery of redditors who mostly don't have a clue what they're talking about. Thanks so much to all of you.
