I  have a chipped K&D center set punch with my staking tool set and was wondering if there are any companies providing professional sharpening/refinishing for watchmakers?  Are they any ways to do this at home?

Unfortunately, I do not own a lathe and am a little hesitant strapping the punch to my power drill.  Any advice?

Thanks,

Dan

If it’s the punch used to centre the table I would think that would have to be done on a lathe.

This video deals with the way to repair a jewelling set. Should work for a Staking set. At least you can compare and modify to suit.

I like Alex's videos but in this instance I would need to use a lathe or rotary drill.  The punch is used to center the table on the staking tool.

Yes, it's THAT punch.  I would like to have it as close to perfect as possible.  Any watchmakers or companies offering this service?

The King of punches 😂…

…just wondering - how many staking sets do you have? Just one?

Just the one set I purchased from Goodwill.  The center set punch it came with appeared to have been sharpened (poorly) but does the job.  I picked up a used punch off eBay with a chipped point.  I now have two punches to be refinished! 😂  This damn hobby makes a tool junkie out of the best of us!

I've done this with a tool and cutter grinder. It is important that the centre be axial with the punch.  Most small engineering shops would have one so maybe finding a friendly local one might be a way forward?  Punches are often non-standard sizes so it probably needs one that has collets to hold the work.

      1947 NOS Ambassador 'C'. Actually, the case came without the movement so the movement isn't NOS, but she sure is pretty.

      one of the problems we have is visible versus invisible. For instance millennium disulfide another high pressure lubricant black in color. I was told by somebody worked for the Boeing company that they had a piston like device somewhere that has eight call it around it to grab it so it has to slide and in the collet has to grab. But if somebody puts that type of dry grease on where grease with that in it it embeds itself basically in the metal and they have to throw the whole part away they get use it all. So I suspect on all the dry powdery lubricants that they will go into all the basically microscopic cracks and crannies of the metaland that's where it is visually at least until you scrub it off your visually going to see it which is good because you want your lubrication the stay word is. But I'm sure it doesn't last forever on the metal it's just a really nice lubrication
