  • In this video, I'm going over the process of clock re-bushing and I'm proposing a method for finding the exact position of the original pivot holes, not using the traditional Centering Bit tool.

    Thank you for an extremely interesting and helpful video. I am a just working on clocks as a hobby and do not have the specialized equipment and wish to use my drill press. Your idea and method of finding the true center is inspired. Very good video work and an excellent narrative.

    Excellent instructional video. I like your idea and implementation. Too bad the very end of the video got cut off. Where does one by the Reamers? Thanks for the video. I will try this.

      Hi, happy to hear that you like the video. Sorry for being cut at the end - this is my first ever uploaded video :). Most of the reamers I've purchased in 'Timesavers'. thx.

    thanks for the idea. I was also looking a method for an occasional rebushing. my only suggestion could be to use a center drill bit #1. it has a tip of 1.2mm and is more rigid.

      thx, you right. After I finished this re-bushing I've purchased center drill bit set. I agree it more rigid. thx.

    except that... you risk breaking/snapping pivots, sometimes the opposite side of the gear you'd want to use doesn't offer enough area to secure in the chuck, drill press runout should be checked, etc. the proper way to this... even if bushing by hand... is to use a needle file to file out the hole on the opposite side of the wear... a mirror image of the wear. that way, when you drop in a centering bit or even just a reamer it will automagically self-center.

      Thank for your valuable feedback. Along the very few clocks I've re-bushed, I always managed finding a wheel/gear that can be used for this task. Keep in mind that usually, there will be more than 1 wheel/gear for each pivot diameter size. Yes, agree that special care need to be taken to avoid gear damage.
      Regarding my method, I know that filing the pivot hole to create a mirror image, is a common way to enforce reamer to the original center, however, to my opinion manual filing is less accurate what so ever (at least MY manual filing...). I can't make sure the filing will be exact a mirror image of the wear. Therefore I prefer the method I've proposed.
      Last but not least, I think the reamer should always work on a true rounded circle hole and not on a kind of ellipse - this reduce the friction and the force during the reamer work thus better accuracy.
      Again, thank for the time you spend and for the valuable feedback, I really appreciate it.

    Thanx for your video. I'd like to try your idea. I also am a hobbyist, not a professional clock maker, looking for information. Could you tell me how I can determine the bushing sizes for my clock?

    • @galaxygalaxy4389
      @galaxygalaxy4389  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi, thank for your feedback. regarding your question how to determine the size - I'm extracting the information from KWM table for example here: www.milehiclocksupplies.com/45.pdf. In case you need a real example, please share your email and I'll elaborate to details. thank again!
