Awesome video. I'm watching while sorting my new staking set. I'm supposed to be a woodworker but here I am buying the specialty tools of specialty tools for watchmaking. Geeze.
Fascinating video! When checking the jewel bearing IDs after staking, are you using gauge pins, Deltronic pins in .0001 increments, or are you using some form of optical measuring equipment? How much interference is needed to hold a jewel bearing in place, or is it not really calculated to that level? I'm interested in the whole inspection process in general, but I'd love to check out some of the drawings for the bridges and main plates just to see your datum and dimensioning setup. Are the jewel pallets staked into the fork as well? Loving these videos!
This depends on the bridge material and the jewel size. But as an example, a 1mm OD jewel will hold nicely with a 0.99mm reamed hole in a brass bridge. The hole will be checked with a gauge pin or optically.
We use them for rivets, removing material from skins, setting bearings, Marking positions on ribs, ect. What I know about radial engines is dangerous haha! But you have got to love the engineering behind them. Those Rolls Royce engines are marvelous to behold!

Fascinating!!
Definitely learned something completely new with this one!

We have staking tools in aviation but they are tad larger than yours. 😅 They are quite diverse in their usefulness. Thanks for sharing Cameron!
Nothing scarier than the thought of an unstaked PC link. For us rotary weirdos that is

@@johanvandersandt8904 I mean rotary as in rotary aircraft. Helicopters lol sorry for the confusion
@@Not-a-bot222 No worries my friend!
