Today's video is completing the repair to the skeleton clock fusee. In this video, I make a replacement stop work 'snail' or 'cam' and fit it to the repaired fusee.
The main reason for milling cutters being a no-no is that the vibration caused by milling unseats the chuck from its taper, either the Morse from the quill or the Jacobs from the arbour. Using a cutter as you did is fine as you are just drilling with a four flute flat bottoming drill, often also known as an end mill.😂
pourquoi le sylindre qui porte la chaine en haut a une forme non cylindrique reguliere ??? quelle est lutilité de cette forme ??? merci pour votre reponse
Good question, the answer is it’s not necessary, but it stands more chance of surviving long term. Higher quality clocks tend to be steel rather than brass, but it’s not a rule.
Hello sir, my query is as follows, it is possible to replace the link chain with a steel cable, I am a watchmaker, I live in Argentina and some spare parts are complicated, thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Yes it is possible, however not advisable. If a chain is really not obtainablee I would probably recoomend using a plastic covered steel line and making a pair of hooks for the ends, that way the barrel and fusee will be protected from damage and it cal always be put back to original should a chain be sourced in the future.
