Unknown Tool from Staking Set


Relentless

Recommended Posts

Just recently bought a K&D 18 Inverto staking set on eBay, all the stomps are complete and it just missing a few stakes.

The staking set included this weird looking stomp with a tightening lever (it seem like it) try to google for some info but failed to identify it.

Attach is the image of the unknown tool, if I may add I also want to know the purpose of the 10 pins placed alongside the stomps (highlighted in red)

Thanks in advance

What you have is a incomplete combined jewelling and staking set , it is perfectly serviceable as is as a staking set but there are parts missing which will make it useless as a jewelling tool,  the pins are for pushing out friction jewels, the other odd looking part I have no idea but if its Kendrick and Davis it will probably be on the following site somewhere,

Of the items in the staking is set circled should be the reamers for the jewelling attachment for the staking set that casually appears to be missing? Then the ministry tool is also missing something. It's known as a Balloon Chuck may go by other names and other parts of the universe. It's used to hold a balance wheel in a lathe they can polish the pivots. Which without a picture showing it probably makes no sense at all by my description. But I did find you a picture online at least showing the balance wheel in the tool.  You do have to scroll quite a ways down the page but it's there.

Hi Wls1971, ahh so its for pushing friction jewel, so not only the stakes are missing also the jewelling attachment, anyway I have a Seitz jewelling tool so should be ok, is the jewelling attachment sold separately or as sold together with the set?  

 

Hi JohnR725, it looks like the balloon chuck for the lathe you mention. oh well, I guess I have no use for it.

Thank you both

Kendrick and Davis made  two friction jeweling attachments that could be retro fitted to various older frames and to the 18 series of frames the attachments where cataloged as a 540 and 540R, thats what appears to be attached to yours but minus the lever and micrometer adjustment.

    • 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.
