pallet staff exchange

Recommended Posts

Hello!

I have a question, if I may: is there any way I could exchange the staff on the left with the one on the right? I would need to push out both of them and push back the good one on the left pallet fork.

The staff is 0.4 mm and the pivot is 0.12 mm.

Is there a stake (4.7mm ones) that small? I need to change it because the end fork is damaged (don't know if you distinguish in the second photo).

Thank you,

Bogdan

:) Thank you for the advices!

@FlyingWatchmaker  At the moment I don't have a jeweling tool, just a staking tool. The straightness is pretty ok - I will try to make a diy punch from a G28 or G29 needle - I'll put it in a 0.35 punch and push out the axle. To put back the axle in the other pallet, the 0.3 punch should work.
We will see :)

@StuartBaker104   I have that book :)

it's just for fun :)

the watch is ok, I had a good spare pallet. now I am playing with two scrapes. One has a broken pivot and the other has the fork affected (the impulse jewel end) - I got nothing to lose :)

the movement is Landeron 48 but I don't think it matters - a pallet is a pallet is a pallet :)

    • No John, we don't want Mark to change anything, we are just scared of losing a brilliant forum and losing contact with each other.  As pointed out, this forum is full of knowledge and I for one,  consider the regulars friends. I would hate to lose contact with you and the others.   PS, this forum is really important to me. 
    • one little minor problem with your chemistry experiment here which is what exactly is epilam? In other words is it an exact substance with the chemical you specify or is it a term? For instance originally it was steric acid either dissolved in some sort of solvent or it was applied by vaporizing it. Then now it's all kinds of different things the watch companies all have different ideas there's a whole bunch of patents. So is not always an exact substance.   let me snip out a image from the patent that I attached up above. Notice I highlighted something it seems to disagree with your evaluation.  
    • I guess You had to try, as it would be hard to sleep without that try, but, I know the result before the experiment... As I told before, the friction will be so big that the wheel will not turn. The pivots have to be thin and polished - the bigger the number of the wheel (2th, 3gh, 4th...), the thinner the pivot. What You are trying to do is possible, but forming the new thin pivot must be done on lathe. Thus the wheel will get shorter, but can have new pivot without the drilling for normal standard repivoting. Then piece of brass can be soldered under the pivot hole in the bridge and new hole drilled in it to form the new bearing.  Well, this way is not the recommended one, not quite correct, but it is possible to do for the excersize... When I say lathe, lathe may be verry simple, someting like turns, but made of what one has in reach of his hands. If You want to try, I will try to guide
    • yes by all means let's gather up our weapons tar feathers find the nearest tree in case Mark is not agreeable to our terms on our demands and storm his Castle. I don't quite understand what you're trying to do here? In other words you want Mark to somehow guarantee that the group will live on forever no matter what? You want Mark to somehow change his business model of what is trying to do or should we just take the group away from him? oh and is quite possible that Mark never realized that his discussion group would take on a life of its own. That the members of the group would like to continue on forever.  
    • I'm not sentimental, I see it this way.  I inherit something I  don't like, I could sell it, buy something I do like and remember the person with the new item.  For example, I  inherit a watch ( I haven't), I don't like it, I  buy a watch I do like, every time I look at the watch, I think of the person.
