I've seen two types of torches in clock repair videos: a large propane tank with screw-on torch head, and a handheld butane torch. Do you have a preference? Any tips about choosing a torch?
@howtorepairpendulumclocks20 күн бұрын
Hi Bradford. A good question. Without doubt if you are doing a lot of soldering and want one solution to last a lifetime I would go for the Sievert professional system with a seperate propane tank and two or three different sized burner heads. toolshouse.co.uk/products/sievert-pro-86-torch-kit-with-regulator-and-2m-hose?variant=41393479581894¤cy=GBP&gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAAC1c8H9z7T35qfINfhjQ3leb7RZYM&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIvIXCqOjiiAMVjZRQBh3o8itHEAQYBSABEgJL__D_BwE. If you are just doing the occasional bit of soldering, get one of the ones with the burner fixed directly to the top of the canister; the DIY type. In addition to either one of these you will need a spirit burner for small soft-soldering and blueing jobs. IMO the creme brûlée type are dangerous and annoying and should be avoided. Hope this helps! Thanks for your continued support. M

Just found your channel, thanks for an interesting video, as a fellow Myford owner I couldn't help but notice you using the back gear to lock the spindle when fitting the faceplate. I trust you don't do that to remove the chuck as that's an easy way to loose teeth on the geartrain.

That's a good point, there was a little bit of vagueness to the indexing for sure. The improvement you suggest would be useful if you were cutting something like an escape wheel that needed a bit more stability. M

@ianharris3933Ай бұрын
Hi Matthew thanks for a really helpful video. I have three questions. What type of motor are you using to drive the cutting spindle and how is it mounted to the lathe bed? I presume the arbor on which the wheel blank is mounted is retained by a locking drawbar? What method are you using to obtain the correct depth of the cut before you commence the cutting of all of the teeth?
@howtorepairpendulumclocksАй бұрын
Hi Ian. It is a washing machine motor I think? My landlord is a heating engineer and he threw it together for me. I will send you some snaps of it in situ! Yes the arbor/mandril is held in place by a draw-bar. In the shot of the dividing plate you can see the handle I made to tighten the draw-bar. I set the depth of cut by slowly moving the cutter down, locking it between cuts and waiting for the blue land to almost disappear. Ideally you stop just before the line goes altogether but somewhere in that region. With Thornton cutters it is in theory possible to lower the cutter so it just touches the wheel blank then lower it by the specified amount. If it were on a 102 I could do that but on the Myford vertical slide it is just easier to do it slowly over a dozen successive cuts. Hope this helps and hope you are well. M

Fabulous work Matthew! I’m always looking forward to seeing what you’ve got on the workbench next. At what point do you know when to stop hammering the brass when harding it? Keep the content coming.
@howtorepairpendulumclocks2 ай бұрын
Hi Darryl Thanks for your kind feedback. When you begin hammering the brass the hammer kind of sinks in like hitting a piece of plasticine. After a while the hammer bounces and the tone changes. Bit of experience I suppose. On the edge of the material you can also see it gets compressed. Obvs if you hammer it too much it cracks and you have to start again. CZ120 also responds to further work hardening... just get a piece of scrap brass cz120 and experiment. Cast brass is really unpredictable. M

Yes it would. You would have to make a jewel but using diamond that is not maybe as difficult as it seems. In a clock a jewel I agree would look nice but really offers you no advantage over dead-hard polished steel. Would be a nice exercise to make one though!
