- I polish, harden and temper the screw I made in the Thread Cutting Attachment video. I try to show how this is accomplished on screw polishing equipment made for the much smaller watch screws.
That was amazing!!! Thank you for all the time and effort that you have put into making this and all your other videos….Bob
Another good video Rob. Your filming is improving with each show.
Thanks Al...
Excellent and interesting video. Keep up the good work.
thanks a lot
Wow Robert, I think this is the first video of yours I’ve watched. Fantastic! I wish I had all those tools, but I think I only have the tweezers😕. I’m looking for a way to polish the tops of watch screw heads with the minimum of new tools, any tips? Thanks for this!
Fantastic video. I just purchased a Boley screw head polisher. What do you use to clean the boxwood lap of its diamantine after you're done polishing. The metal wheels would be easy to clean, but I don't want to damage my boxwood whee.
Excellent video as always. Where did you purchase your bell matal lap from? Having a hard time finding a bell metal or tin lap for final polish. Thank you!
Great job making the video where do you get your lapping compounds?
Thanks Danny...lapping compounds I use come from United States Products Co. 518 Melwood Ave. Pittsburgh, PA ...they are on the web.
It's steel or stainless steel?
Hi, I am trying to find out if it is possible to blue some steel screws for a Rolex 3135 movement, I want to try and blue the screws for all the bridges in the movement as the movement is on show through a crystal caseback. I can't find any info on this, do you know if this is possible at all?
I have never done this before for that watch so I will not say you can do it...but I can say every screw I've polished to perfection blued well..here is my 2 cents worth...go to Esslingers search for generic rolex parts...buy some screws and give it a go...see how it goes
Man! What kind of eyesight do you have? Even with my trifocal lenses, I could barely see that little screw.
I got a desk that is just a bit higher then normal so my line of sight is spot on...I wear a loop when I'm not filming...but if I squeeze the tweezers wrong...bing!...I call for my wife and my BIG magnet!
I just viewed your video re: polish blue screws. Do you offer this as a service for small component watch parts ?
I'm also looking for the same service, did you find anybody?
tony shaw hello ! I found a person ... but he is all the way across the other side of the world ... not too many watch makers in the USA (NYC) want to do this...
tony shaw www.canberraclocks.com/. (Reuben)... He might be able to assist... Best ~ AG
What is this
so if you put a reasonable price on your time what's that screw worth $60 or $70 bucks?
it is part of a set of 4 screws for a skeleton clock I'm building...by the time I finish I'll have well over 1000 hours into the construction...I try to never think about the costs...or the fact I can buy a good clock at Wal Mart for less then $20 (:
What to see how you make that gear cutter
stay tuned...working on that now...FYI... I'll make a gear with the cutter and a lantern pinion as well
robertt4522 for sure robert... i am making alot of reaserch on gears and terminologies... i really want to make one ..
I'll try to give you a good look at Porter's method...I've made about a dozen cutters and quite a few gears that way but feel free to ask questions if I am not clear on something...but be aware it is Robert Porter's work so I will only give out so much...but it should be enough to decide whether you wish to buy the book or not.
robertt4522 thanks robert. If i have question I will ask you for sure. Another thing robert can you explain how the hob that you have done, the theory that you had used to do it and on the lathe how you cut it with the diminsion. I entered on the site that you gave us but didnt quite understand the spacing exactly according ti the gear theet... thanks karl
Your question is a bit complicated for such a small
discussion area as this. Let me direct you to this forum where I built my first
