As a point of interest. You should find that modern pushers etc, as sold by Cousins here in the UK, fit your jewelling tool. They do mine.

Nice. I have the same set. It is complete, but I'm sure that I paid a bit more than that. Probably $75 or so. I purchased it at an NAWCC Mart quite a few years ago. Sadly, I still haven't done jobs that force me to learn how to use it properly. Enjoy.
 
LOL ..Yes I wonder how much I will actually use it ...I have a pivoted I am sure I will never use

Looks a great piece of kit Tony.  Now you can install new staffs onto balance wheels.   Ive a pile of watches each tagged "need balance complete".  must invest in one of those tools myself.

This is for replacing/installing jewels, not staffs, that would be a staking set.

I got it off craigslist.. Funny thing is it was off a mechanical engineer.. I also purchased the staking set from an engineer paid $120 both sets are in mint condition. Coming from mechanical engineers they were obviously treated with the respect tools deserve.

      Setting lever spring

      By Neverenoughwatches · Posted

      This set lever seems to working ok unhardened Nickelsilver, might it deform if i leave it that way ?

      I found this from a while back CS100 seems fine, but at around 500 Vickers it's not quite as hard as "blue" steel, but still harder than annealed. I'd try to find annealed (the post above has a U.K. supplier of small quantities).

      As an experiment i was thinking of not hardening it to see how it fairs. Now that i have a complete template i could knock up another in half the time if this loses its elasticity. I might play about with a few pieces today to test their bending and spring properties. This was cs 100 the supplier quoted in annealed state, it was nice to work with files so I'm taking it thats its state. What you are looking seems like it would need annealing to work it. This is why i went for this stuff that cuts out that process, it was so easy to work.

      Is this a 'hack' ?

      By dnhb · Posted

      Showing state of hairspring on receipt, backplate & 'dished' wheel.  Thanks, Nev. Amplitude v. weak - balance wheel turns over arc of only ~20deg. Don't know how to calculate movement rate or safely vibrate balance spring! Meantime I have reduced the 'dishing' & clock no longer runs for more than a few minutes except face down which supports my theory that it was 'dished' as a hack to avoid doing a proper repair.

      I would harden and temper (to a light blue). It's so easy to do and only takes a couple of minutes. A search on ebay UK for "spring steel strip cs" finds plenty available in small quantites and thicknesses from 0.1mm up.  But the question is ( @nickelsilver) which "CS" number is best for watch parts ?  Also, from one of the ads : "CARBON SPRING STEEL. SIZE IS METRIC 15.00mm X 0.10mm X 304 MM  CS100 FINISH BRIGHT . HARDENED AND TEMPERD TO 480-530VPN" I've no idea about 480-530VPN. Does that mean it needs annealing before working?       Have you seen this video, he shows how to determine where the indents go ?
