Hi all

Fore years now I have been putting watch parts in a plastic bag after cleaning when demagnetising, just wondering weather i would get the same results if I left them in the little baskets what do you think.

cheers kaz

 ps it’s a Elma antimag demagnetiser

I would think you would, as long as the basket is of a non-magnetic material (which I suspect most are). My basket is a soft metal, probably a mix of aluminum and or tin, but definitely non-ferrous.

I put my small parts in a small plastic container with a lid, about the size of a bottle cap, and it works fine.

I always demagnetised the complete movement before taking it apart. Make sure your tweezers, screwdrivers oilers and the cleaning machine basket are as well. If you do this and get into the habit, it will save you a lot of time.

Forget the screwdrivers if you have anti magnetic ones.

So doing them in the baskets would have the same results then, I guess there is only way to find out is to try it.

Ok a little update on this, last night at the Milton Keynes BHI meeting I asked the same question, once the movement has been cleaned and assembled you put the movement on the demagnetiser dial down press the button,turn it over dial up press the button then turn it 90 deg then press the button again that’s it, if you keep trying to do this it can re magnetise the movement, this is for the ELMA ANTIMAG only there was 6 people in the conversation and they all agreed.

Cheers Kaz

One of the many sacrifices they demand of watch repairers. Can you imagine all the steampunk art they have created over the years? :D

      Notifications

      By JohnR725 · Posted

      if you're trying to keep track of conversations scattered all over the message board emails are an absolute must.   looking at the bell icon on the top of the page versus the emails today it looks like I got the correct amount of emails. So making some minor change based on the one of the images up above I started getting notifications again. But at times I still have a suspicion that something isn't quite right. I have some feeling that the message board may delay sending emails until something so seems to be a long delay between when you get your emails just a weird feeling things aren't quite right oh  and then even though I do seem to be getting emails I no longer get notifications of personal messages I don't find that out until I arrived at the message board where I'm pretty sure I used to get notifications of those two. So something is definitely changed on the message board. then for everyone not getting emails you do want to check your spam folder. I have found that sometimes were open up an email the system I use warns me that it thinks the email is evil and bad and I have no idea why he thinks some of the emails are and some are not. But this is actually the program I use not the email system which also has a mind of its own as to what it considers spam so you should always check your spam folder.
