    Then, at the end, I saw your square fixture, which I think might be better even for machining. If you install a 4-jaw chuck on your lathe, you can offset the fixture to center the seconds subdial for machining the guilloche onto the subdial. I'd be tempted to try a very sharp cutter in the lathe with a slow feed and a very shallow cut for a concentric-ring pattern. These videos are inspiring--thank you for posting them!

      you r totally right! I tried 4-jaw chuck too, but result is not always satisfying, seems luck of precision on my cheap chuck. Planning to make ER32 fixture with offset slide to get max precision. thanks for awesome comments!

    One of the best watch making videos I have watched so far on RUclips! Great work! Keep it up!

    I've subscribed--I generally don't like music beds but yours are mild enough not to distract from what you are doing. I wondered when looking at your dial-making videos why you didn't install the dial feed first, and then machine holes in your fixture to accommodate the feet. I'm not sure I'd want to try to solder feet onto the dial after all the work of machining and finishing the face. :) That way, when you remove the dial from the fixture during finishing, you can put it back in exactly the same place. Then, I would machine flats at 9 and 12 on the dial fixture so you can drag it across your sandpaper using a fence to keep everything exactly straight.

    Припой 180 градусов по Цельсию, и можно ножки паять к любому циферблату не опасаясь за покрытие. Привет из СССР! 😊

    What soldering led you use what is the size

    • @watchmakeratelier
      @watchmakeratelier  9 месяцев назад

      I use 63Sn/37Pb 0.81mm 1.2% but this is not necessary use the same, have to try different and find what works better for you.

    That's fine if you're MAKING a dial but isn't practical for reattaching dial feet to an EXISTING dial.... 😞

      You are very right. Can try to use some less temperature soldering paste, but generally this method is more suitable for new dials making.

    I’d buy those 3D parts from you
    I think this might give me a reason to buy a 3D printer

    If you heat the torch directly on back side of the dial, you will burn off the indexes and ruin the entire dial face. That's really the wrong way to do it.

      You should obviously avoid to heat dial too much for sure if you repair one.

    I was expecting attaching legs to a Real dial like Omega, Rolex etc not a blank….

    The video linked below includes a specific solder flux with solder beads used for reattaching feet to existing dials.

      personally i do give up with soldering paste...but true is - i do not repair dials mainly, but make them, so have some more space to fail.
