Staking set - bit missing?


p2n

Recommended Posts

Picked up a staking kit from fleabay and as often with fleabay it's almost working lol

When you lock down the platter? table? it doesn't quite lock. The plunger doesn't quite pull down enough.

Not being familiar with this I can't work out if it's worn or there is a bit missing. I'm leaning towards the missing theory - maybe a shim under the table or a roller on the end of the locking shaft.

Anyone seen one of this model/type before?

when its assembled, am I safe in assuming that the reduced diameter eccentric portion of the shaft is in the hole?   If just extremely worn, said eccentric portion would not look round when viewed from the end.  My guess is there should a bushing on it - make something with the ID = the eccentric portion and the OD fitting the hole in the post.  I've not seen one like that before, just mechanically speculating :)

Yes.

As you rotate the locking shaft it should pull the pin down and clamp the table. But there is too much play. The shaft doesn't look worn or bent - so there must be something missing - either a shim under the table or as you suggest a bush on the end of the eccentric.

Thinking about it though - the collar wouldn't need to be a tight fit. Just so long as the outside diameter is less that the locking rod and the thickness was less that the distance between the pin and the edge of the lock rod... maybe I could find a bit of brass/copper tube at the hardware store and file it down ... hmmmmm

Make a brass bush - it's helped but it still won't lock.

If I make the bush thicker then the cam won't be able to turn past the 90deg point.

Can't work out what's going on here...

hmmm, apologies if I led you astray.  Looking at it again, perhaps what is required is a piece who's OD matches the post hole, and and has a hole to match the eccentric pin, but that the hole is offset by how much the pin is eccentric.  Clear as mud?  something of this shape:

I think I see what you mean. An insert into the vertical post? But doesn't that have the same effect as the bush?

I'm not as good with the CAD - let me draw this on paper and post back (probably tomorrow now).

yeah, I think you're right, the drawing above will just spin.  While i'm bouncing around a bit, it has to be the first idea, a bush with the OD close to the hole in the post....either that or a combination of the two, an offset hole but not offset quite as much as the eccentric pin.

    • 🤔 leaving the EU meant that UK was no longer part of the convention and have already been turned down an independent reapplication. I'm pretty sure courts have to be held in Switzerland in this case. There will be a lot more watches stashed away in draws  tbh, folk wont be able to afford to maintain them. Cheap watches will be bought and top end watches by folk with plenty of cash that can pay for service and repair. The expensive once in a lifetime gifts and everything else inbetween will be at the forgotton when they stop working. I know i was being a numpty, get used to it 😄 Anybody that knows will boycott them, but besides repairers who will know. Nope will never buy one, i made that decision as soon as i learnt about this. 
    • although not in this case.  It was the Lugano Convention and its deficiencies that allowed a Swiss court decision in the first place.  This isnt really a Brexit issue at all.  A decision that affects both the EU and the UK should never have been heard in Switzerland. I bet the authorised service centres in the UK are pretty pleased.  It's a massive shame, though; I believe watch owners should be able to choose to have their watch serviced by whoever they trust.
    • Hi guys I think that old hippy is correct, it opens the gates for china to manufacture aftermarket spare parts. considering that they already do work on behalf of the Swiss I guess this decision gives the a little more legitimacy to tool up and I am sure they will take advantage of the situation either with or without the blessing of the Swiss watch industry  Having read about the protectionist machinations of the Swiss in the history of Europe they were the only ones to get fat at everybody else’s expense. I think the outcome could have been guessed at but ,  fair play to Cousins UK for standing up to them.  Now the question,  will everybody boycott Swiss watches and Swatch, no way they will still fill their coffers.  Me I stick with the Japanese once renowned for cheap shitty watches who came good through industrial effort and don’t for get the Russians that most dismiss as low grade crap. Wouldn’t buy a swatch product ever how about you all.? a
