A GOT THIS K&D TOOL BUT A DO NOT HAVE  THE STAKING K&D PUNCH FOR IT IS A POSSIBLE FOR ME TO USE A STAKING PUNCH FROM MY STAKING TOOL TO REMOVE THE STAFF INSERTED IN THE K&D TOOL?

you could try but the problem is the punch that goes inside there is a specific shape if you have the wrong shape it's not going to fit all the way. Plus the end has a specific shape so that ideally you can knock the staff out without breaking the pivots. But usually the hole in the end gets plugged up and that's wishful thinking that you'll keep the pivot intact.

then does that have enough adjustment that it would work for your staking set?

Sorry, late to the party.  You need the K&D #50 or #50B stake for that remover, depending on the size hole in that remover.  The #50B is for smaller balance staffs (wristwatches) and #50 is for larger ones (pocket watches).
