In this video I show the work I did to restore a wheel in a Chronometer. The wheel had been damaged and would certainly have been a candidate for replacement, but I wanted to try and repair the damage without replacing the wheel. See how I got on and let me know what you think of the results.

@pafurnace Год назад

I would not have thought that sort of repair was possible! My clock work, compared with yours, is blacksmithing. I have no delusions of ever gaining these kinds of skills. Even so, your work is inspiring. It makes me want to do better work. And for that, I thank you.

@odiesclips7621 Год назад

One of the most unique, fascinating videos I've ever seen. The specialized machinery used to cut gear teeth is captivating. Thank you!! Very well done.

@halnwheels Год назад

I had the pleasure of using both a Schaublin 80 and 102 at a prototype machine shop back in the 1970s.. I agree with everything you said about the tactile feel of these machines. The 80 in particular, was used by a machinist who I watched make pressure diaphragm caps that were .080" in diameter with various diaphragm thicknesses as thin as .0012" across the diameter. I was at his house one time where he showed me a clock he made himself with a siderial complication. It wasn't until later in my life that I came to realize how close I was to a very special talent. This video brought me right back there. Thank you!

I just had to watch after seeing the title of this video. I took a two year class in watch and clock repair about thirty years ago in plainwell Michigan. One of our projects was replacing a tooth on a wheel. I told my instructor I could replace all the teeth and keep the wheel. He looked at me like I was nuts. That night after school I went back to class and did about the same as you. However instead of making a blank and recutting all the teeth I cut another wheel of the same kind so the new ring gear would solder nicely onto the turned down original. It did not look as nice as yours but it worked fine. I think my instructor was impressed

@y2ksw1 Год назад

I just had a flashback. As a joungster I built tiny mechanical devices for optics to be mounted on a satellite. We haven't had such good tools and some pieces were extremely challenging to make.

Wonderful job! Could you share a few words about the soldering process - must have been quite tricky. Thanks for sharing your work.

@TommyJobson Год назад

Hi @jimad and @PatrickSpencer, unfortunately I had a nice clip of setting up the camera and no footage of the soldering part, so sorry for the omission! I basically sweat the smallest amount of solder at the lowest heat I could manage to get it to flow taking care to shield the pinion to prevent heating it.

Interesting that you use forceps to remove the screws from your holding tool, but fingers to replace them.

@inertproductionsalternate9114 7 месяцев назад

Im curious as to in what cases this type of repair would be preferred over making a new wheel? Detailed wheel repair where it would be difficult or costly to replicate perhaps?

@davemartin2068 Год назад

Wonderful work. You must have spent a lot of time getting to this stage! Where did you find that beefy pair of tweezers? Got to say it again, wonderful work.

@garymucher4082 Год назад

Amazing patience and intricate work. Have you weighed the before and after to see if it weighs the same or very closely? I was wondering on such a delicate gear if the weigh would change the operation... IDK But Thumbs Up for sure...

@abnermiller9489 4 месяца назад

@Rouverius Год назад

@ernstlessau8208 Год назад

I am also could not see that seam - and I also was missing the actually prozess of making the comination between that to wheel 's. Not only 1 picture about that connection process was to be seen.

@giacomopinzani9344 Год назад

hi, your videos are very constructive. I wanted to know how you welded the rim to the wheel and with what material did you use, thanks a lot

@ernstlessau8208 Год назад

oh yes , a secret also for me *: - {* . . .

@robertyoung7770 Год назад

Excellent work and I see you have all the machines required. What was the size shrinking fit and the name of the manufacturer for the lathe and dividing head etc? Regards Bob

@TommyJobson Год назад

The fit was soldered so it was about 0.005-0.01 oversize. The lathe is a Schaublin 102 with Schaublin dividing equipment.

@Tasarran Год назад

I'd never make it as a clockmaker; I can barely even see the problem! :D

@deeranfoxworthy6069 Год назад

Gorgeous repair! Curious question though, do you have to worry about the inner teeth being clocked or aligned in a specific way with the outer teeth you've made? Or would the orientation have no bearing upon the functionality of the mechanism? But if they do, how do you align them or set up the jig to be sure it's aligned?

@TommyJobson Год назад

Thanks, and a great question. On this wheel the inner part is known as the crossings. These are partly decoration, partly weight reduction to inertia, they don’t need to be clocked to the teeth.

@deeranfoxworthy6069 Год назад

@@TommyJobson ooh!! I see!! Thank you for that info!! What about the teeth of the other tinier gear mounted on the "hub" of the ring-geared cog?

@624Dudley Год назад

@@deeranfoxworthy6069 I think you’re asking about the orientation of the repaired gear to the pinion with which it shares the shaft. The relationship between these two components can be random without affecting timekeeping.

@HanstheTraffer Год назад

I love to watch that old Schaublin in action. Especially in the hands of a pro.

@aeroearth Год назад

What type of solder did you use to attached the rim to the wheel? When fabricating small parts out of brass I prefer to use high temp silver solder containing 45% silver. When fabricating model aircraft tanks from tinplate I use low temp silver solder comprising 97% tin and 3% silver. Some 50% stronger than traditional 60/40 lead solder yet melts at a lower temp around 220 degrees C. If you used 45% silver solder to attach the rim you could make a heat sink out of aluminium or copper clamping on the wheel spokes to avoid tempering the pinion gear and shaft. Another method could be to bevel the wheel edges then swage the rim into the beveled edges and then face to final width. Likely add three brass rivets at the intersection of rim and wheel with rivet holes countersunk each side which would ensure the rim could never slip on the wheel. Avoids heat and the risk of distortion.

@TommyJobson Год назад

It was a reel of ‘soft solder’ the rest is unknown!
