Want To Learn About Oil


Recommended Posts

Can anyone please explain  the oils used, Is the different numbers for viscosity? maybe a good table will help with witch oils to use on witch parts and WHY? Is there any cheaper alternatives out there you can get about everywhere? Just curious. What will be a good starter pack to get , maybe something on E bay.... 1 ml will probably last me a lifetime.

Mark, I just joined this site and I am super excited about finding it. I left you a post on one of your you tube videos (Dave Matthews) about how great your videos are and how much I have learned from them. I'm retired and this is such a great hobby for me that takes up some time and keeps me out of trouble, at least until Happy Hour! Thanks Mark!

There was one part that made me smile "It is good practice to clean oil pots and replenish with fresh oil every week"

The Author must be well off as Moebius Synt-a-lube 9010 for instance is at least a tenner for a couple of mil.

    • Just installed it on my iPhone (my only iOS device) and it appears to be intact and functional. I may have to go out and buy myself an ipad just for this app.
    • I have two Seitz sets, one ancient (with the 3mm anvils) and one just old (with 4mm anvils) plus a collection of spare pushers of assorted vintage. Not one of them is marked with it's size. Something which I have found very irritating when I have been using the tool and not returning pushers to their correct place in the tray every time as it means that I have to get the calipers out and measure them. These were bought as sets and collectively I have over 100 pushers so it would seem highly unlikely (if not inconceivable) that they are all cheap knock offs, especially as they are old enough to pre-date the prevalence of the Chinese knock off industry (at least as applied to watch making tools). I therefore believe them to be original Seitz parts. And there is no numbering. The shape of the bottom of the pump pushers is the same as your photo. The only thing that may not be the same is that the slotted insert (looks like a screw but is in fact a bayonet) should be brass. Yours looks the same colour as the steel but that could just be the lighting.
    • The original database is available on iOS devices here: https://apps.apple.com/fi/app/ranfft-watch-movements-archive/id6502008939
    • I no longer have my set so I can't help anymore sorry. Many on here have the set as its a must have tool for watch making/ repair.
    • It needs to be stirred before use and that makes it feel a lot thinner than when in the bottle. Does it feel as thin as 9010 after stirring it? I guess not! Yes, it's strange! I don't know, but if it is on impact it would make sense.
