The Jewelers Lathe |
|
|
|
This tool is used for straightening bent arbors, re-pivoting and polishing gears and pivots. This tool can also be used to machine custom wheels. |
|
The Bushing Machine |
|
|
|
The bushing machine is used for replacing worn bushings. The bushing is the brass ring that the pivot rotates within, occasionally these will wear down as a result of friction and require replacing. |
|
The Air Compressor |
|
|
|
The compressed air is used to run various pneumatic hand tools, and also is used to blow residual cleaner off the clock parts that is left from the cleaning process. |
| The Spring Winder | |
|
|
We use the spring winder to safely release the tension stored in a mainspring. This tool is also used to re-tension mainsprings. Clocks that contain a barrel assembly which houses the mainspring, this tool allows us to safely remove the spring from the barrel. |
|
The Rotary Tool |
|
|
|
The rotary tool has many uses for clock repair. For example it can be used for grinding, polishing, cutting, or buffing. |
|
The Ultrasonic Cleaner |
|
|
|
The Ultrasonic cleaner uses high frequency sound waves to create millions of microscopic bubbles in the ammonia based cleaning solution. This creates a scrubbing action that cleans visible surfaces as well as crevices that are not visible to the naked eye. This process of "cavitation" results in a very effective method by which we thoroughly clean your clock's movement. |
