Hello!

I am new here on forum and I have a one question I have a pivot drill that I bought on a flea market really cheap and it wasn't in full set so what will be your suggestion on how to use this tool?

Here you can have an idea. But Roger holds the one side by hand....

Very interesting video, thanks for posting it!

Slightly different lathe, turret style, but the principle is the same.

Thank you for the reply.

I bought it as it's on photo and I am thinking on how to hold the balance to get drill straight to the center of the staff.

Looking at the photos it looks like it's missing a few pieces. There should be several sizes of hollow end arbors that hold the work while you insert the drill. There should also be a drill holder. Have a look at this one:

Yes now I see it's missing some pieces.

I wanna think what kind of use I can get from it. 

Without all the accessories, I'm not sure if you will be able to use it as intended at all. You also mentioned replacing a balance pivot with it, unless the balance is for a clock or something on the larger side, you'd be better off replacing the staff. This tool is meant more for larger pivots, such as for the train wheels and the like, a balance pivot is simply too small.

Thank you all for answers!

As I guess this tool will be in my tool collection without any use before I buy another one in full set.

    • Righty ho, I re-serviced the chrono module and got a reasonable result with minimal loss of amplitude when not running the chrono and about 30 degrees loss when running. Great. The problem is now that the chrono (and movement) stops running after about a minute or so, a tap on the watch starts it running again. No issues with the movement running when the chrono is stopped. Going to service it yet again, obviously some residual issues with friction in the chrono module (Very frustrating - I wish there was some way of testing it as I go!) I also seem to have a problem with the cannon pinion where the movement is running continuously (with the chrono stopped) but it's losing significant time / stopping. This is one of those two piece ETA style with a driving wheel pressed over the cannon pinion, obviously arranged for driving the chrono module. I had no issues with this prior to service and just added a small amount of grease between the driving wheel and the centre cannon pinion as the technical guide required. What's the best way of tightening these up? I would like to replace it but I guess this is going to be hard to find as it is dedicated to the DD chrono movement. 
    • He uses the micrometer cap, but he leaves the spring out (you can see that in the video). If you leave the spring in, the spindle will move up as well (as shown by @Knebo).
    • Seems like he doesn't have the micrometer cap  attached to the spindle so he can only push down but cannot pull up? If the cap screws into the spindle I guess you don't need the spring? I only have a "normal" Seitz so I really have no idea. 
    • Do you have a part number for the bearing shim lock tool?
    • Yes in my opinion the 3/4HP is plenty but it’s your decision & yes it does come with speed control but foot operation so my reason for changing to potentiometer was because my leg shakes so it was like me revving the lathe & anyway I prefer to set the speed. I & a few others that I recommended the motor to run a Pultra 10mm lathe so if you have a 6 or 8mm B & L then it will be plenty, if you have seen any of my videos you will have seen that when using a graver I run quite slow without any problems.
