Ideal for riveting "hard" staffs — will save wear and tear on the expensive dieplate, ‘When used for final staking ofa balance staff or pinion, iti i portant to select the correct size punch for doing a good job and avoiding damage to the punch. A proper fiting punch should fit freely over the collet hub with a clearance of about 02 10 (03 mm. Always tap the punch lightly witha brass hammer turn ing tt about one quarter of a turn after each blow. Ifyou select too large a punch, iti possible that you may not “obtain the full degree of bearing surface, thereby, placing too much pressure on the inside corner ofthe punch causing it to flaten ‘out oF chip. If you select 100 small a punch, the staf becomes a wedge and will split the punch or round the inside corners of the punch. ROUND FACE HOLE PUNCHES Nos. 74 to 103A * for spreading undercut of staffs and pinions prior to finishing with a flat face hole punch Before using ths style punch, pres the balance wheel firmly over the riveting surface with a fst faced hole punch.

Select the correct size punch in the same manner as with the fat faced hole punches FLAT FACE SOLID PUNCHES Nos. 104 to 111A * for closing holes + for adjusting end shake of train bushings + for riveting where a hole punch is not required * for use as stumps when inverted in Staking Toot frame“LLY Punches ROUND FACE SOLID PUNCHES Nos. 112 to 119A, + for closing pivot holes * for closing minute hand holes * for bumishing top of old style jewel settings after closing bezel * for closing holes in rollers The above punches are generally used in conjunction with a slid face stump and their high polish will leave a fine finish on oil ‘cups oF pivot holes. When using to close minute hand holes, always use a Staking Tool frame and avoid direct contact with the dieplate by frst placing the hand on a solid face stump. i the hole cannot be closed easily with ight tapping, the material is too hard and should have the temper drawn to avoid breakage. These punches were not designed to be used on clock plates ‘SCREW KNOCKING PUNCHES Nos. 121 and 122 + for driving out screws which have broken in the plates * for driving out friction banking pins Care must be used with these punches or breakage can be ex pected. In driving aut a broken screw, ane good blow is much better than a succession of light blows and less likely to break the punch, PALLET ARBOR PUNCHES Nos. 131 to 133, + for staking friction pallet arbors “These punches have a specially designed double shoulder hole which accommadates both the pivot and part ofthe body of the pallet arbor. The inside shoulder of the punch rests on the shoulder ofthe pallet arbor. drop of iin the hole ofthe punch will keep the pallet arbor from falling out of the punch.KD) connect USE OF PUNCHES AND STUMPS Staking Tool punches, lke all watchmakers’ tools, ate precision ‘made to benefit skilled workmen and must be used with care, Each Staking Tool punch was primarily designed for a specific type of work and careful handling must be exercised to avoid breakage and unnecessary wear. A few “do's and don'ts” are listed below to asst you in properly using your Staking Too! punches and stumps, In handling the frame itself. most watchmakers prefer to center the die and tighten with the die binder while resting the frame firmly on the bench. Others like the dieplate t “oat” or remain loose since this allows for sel-centering of the punch and staf ‘Some prefer to hold the frame . . . by the neck (off the bench) because they feel that the double blow (caused by the dieplate and punch against the staff from both sce) lessens the pressure an both parts and does better all around job, CHECK PUNCH SIZE CAREFULLY WRONG For staking staffs and pinions . . . the common practice isto use a round faced hole punch fst to flatten the undercut ofthe balance staf over the balance atm A at faced hole punch is then used to finish the riveting and to bring it fimly down over the arm. Ha punch fits too tightly ‘over the hairspring shoulder ofthe sta, will ot produce a good! job and may even spit the punch For closing holes round faced solid punches are generally use and should only 'be used inthe Staking Tool frame to avoid of center jobs i used! fn ste! extra caution should be exercised to avoid breakage — use ight lows.‘Small cross hole and special Waltham punches . are the most delicate and often misused punches. Do not use these punches for any other purpose than that for which they are designed. Always use a brass hammer Wiich saves batering your punches, I a ste! hammer is used, the end ofthe punch may flaten out and make it impossible to invert in the frame, We recommend using the K&D No, 269 Brass hammer which was made especially for Staking Tools Light tapping . will stake a staff property and suficienl tight. Kis recommended ‘o:urn the punch sightly beaween the taps or turning the balance ‘wheel to produce a beter job. Forceful pounding quite frequently will cause distortion of the balance arm as well as damage the die and punches, American made balance staffs are harder . . . than Swiss stafs, and for this reason the use of stumps or inverted punches s recommended 10 avoid direct wear on the expensive dieplate Check periodically for rust and remove from punches and die with fine emery paper. Turn ing the punches in your lathe will speed the job of rust removal. To prevent rust from summer humidity and perspiration, the punches and the dieplate should be periodically wipcd wih ray, saturated with lathe oi Check punches for wear... about once a month, especially the flat and round face hole punches in the most used sizes. Good workmanship cannot be {expected if you use a worn or battered punch, Replacements are inexpensive and well worth the investment,
