    • @asicdathens
      @asicdathens Месяц назад

      Making hairsprings has to be more finicky because the heat treatment must be very precise due to small thermal mass of the spring. And it is much more difficult to polish.

  • @jeffreyyoung4104
    @jeffreyyoung4104 Месяц назад

    I read where the original maker of hairsprings would first make the wire flat by filing and sanding the wire with jigs he had invented to do the job. Unlike the flattening of the wire with rollers, filing the wire would have twist in the wire you would have to work at getting it relaxed in order to wind it into a coil. But I suppose the wire can be purchased flat or square as required now a days.

  • @dimman77
    @dimman77 Месяц назад +1

    I've read about this with diagrams showing 4 at a time rather than 2, which seems to create a better spacing.
    But nothing ever gets into details about the wire shape/dimensions requirements. Is this something that you did yourself? Draw plates and rollers first? Or is this purchased wire?
