This series always amazes me as there were once tools to do any and every process. Now, not even the processes exist. Repairs for example. Nothing is repaired anymore, just discarded and replaced. The burner on my Mr. Java coffee maker went kaput. After searching high and low, I found a replacement burner. About the same price as a new Mr. Java coffee maker.

Excellent answers. The only time that I used a burnishing tool was on through hole oillite bushings as illustrated in clip. We pressed off the shelf oillite bushings into bored holes in plate material for plain bearing application. The press fit reduced the ID slightly. The burnishing tool restored the assembled bearing to specified dimension. As the maintenance technician, I simply observed this task and never bothered to really examine the tool. I only occasionally did some fill in production work. I don't believe that our burnishing tools had the moveable wedge feature, which I assume has some designed or adjustable stop to ensure size and repeatability in your versions. Our bushings were pressed into large plate parts and were seated by hand driving with a custom drive punch and fixture that sort of controlled seating depth and perpendicularity (another cause for bushing distortion). Some operators ran the burnishing tool dry, most added a squirt of oil. Some have confirmed that your examples are bottoming burnishing tools. The hole bottom may set the wedge position??? Large burnishing operations were driven by a heavy radial drill. I didn't fully grasp how the watch maker lathe operated, even with your description. I was completely clueless about the tire grooving tool, in spite of part A comments. Showing us the power cord attachment plug helps me understand how it was used successfully. I have never had any personal need to regroove a tire nor have I seen the operation performed. Thinking about tire maintenance causes me to recall a short lived tire balancing machine employed at our local SEARS store tire shop in the late 1970's. The balancing machine shaved off tire rubber as the tire spun on the balancing machine, sort of a lathe operation. I only observed this operation from the vantage point of the public parking lot. I don't know how the operation was controlled, but the operation resulted in enormous piles of tire rubber shavings. Maybe lead weights are too costly for SEARS, maybe it shortened tire life expectancy and increased replacement tire purchases???
@ellieprice3636 ай бұрын
This rubber shaving operation was most likely done when bias ply tires were badly out of round, resulting in a bumpy ride. Balancing would still be needed. Modern radial ply tires don’t need this operation due to much more precise manufacturing processes.

My father was an upholsterer and I was the staple remover when he did a side job at home. I wish that he gave me one of those to dig out some of those stubborn staples. He like most other upholsterers in the 1970's used a pneumatic staple gun that could burry extra long staples coated with some kind of glue into a piece of Oak as fast as he could pull the trigger. Those staples were extra hard to remove but I got them out every time. On the nicer furniture he would put a hand-full of sterilized upholstery tacks into his mouth and used a little magnetic hammer to "Spit tacks" which were much easier to remove and were supposedly safe to swallow a few my mistake.

When I watched the previous video I just assumed that what looked like a tack and staple puller was something else. It seemed too easy. So if you know how to spell assume the way carpenters use the word on a job site, well I won't go further as this is a G rated channel, grin... As always very interesting Mr. Pete. I do enjoy the research you do by looking up the patents and etc.

The friend of a friend made the rounds in a Willys Jeep Station Wagon & had a compressor in it to clean engine bays & rattle can to pretty them up. Also seen a racing slick getting grooved to make it an intermediate/semi-rain racing tire.

I sort of cheated on the watchmakers turn, I have one on my bench that does get used now and then. It is handy to straighten leaves and wheels with during watch repair. I've used it to make a pivot but to do it real well you almost need three hands. One works the bow, one holds the tool and one to rub the rabbits foot so you don't screw up the pivot!

Hi Pete. Again, #1 is a Depthing tool. Some call it a Turning, depending on what country you're from. It's used to mimic or replicate two meshing wheels in a time keeping movement to observe, troubleshoot and/or repair the "leaves"(teeth) in those wheels or meshing pinion gears. True they very closely resemble a "Jacot" watchmakers lathe. Jacot is the name of the inventor and is widely used as a generic word when describing a watchmakers lathe. There are many makers of a Jacot tool. Wish I could send ya a picture. Yes, there are several attachments missing from your example and is very old. You'd really like some of the modern versions that are out today. They're not too common but they're out there. The other tools I hadn't a clue! BTW-I'm no pro just an old retired machinist and hobbyist "watchsmith." Love working on old pocketwatches for folks. It's great fun watching their reactions when I give them their 100 year old timepiece back and it's working. Lights em up everytime.

I ran a machine at Caterpillar in Joliet that used those type of roller burnishing tools on the hydraulic cylinders. First a floating cartridge would bore the cylinder all the way through and stop. You would open a small door, remove the cartridge, hit start, and as the bar retracted, it would burnish it to size.
