Chronometer Train Wheel Repair Part 1

A major restoration of a Barraud chronometer included repairing damage to a train wheel. This is part 1 where I assess the work and make a holder which enabled me to machine new teeth on the repaired section of the wheel.

nice work but im afraid i dont understand. since the teeth on the wheel are all still present and brass being a malleable metal, would it not be more efficient to bend the teeth back to position? is there a reason that this cannot be done in this situation especially since this is apparently an important time piece and originality is desired? would fabrication of a "tooth straightening tool" be an impossible feat?

Excellent work. Where can I find the rest of the series? Thank you.

Why don't you just drill a deeper hole in the tool you already have?

[@ReubenSchoots]

Thanks for the video. Smart and Brown. Drooling.

It’s a lovely machine, one of my favourites. I couldn’t find a Schaublin VM when I was looking for one, but I came across the 1024 and I haven’t been disappointed.

@@TommyJobson They´re lovely, indeed. A friend of mine here in Australia recently traded his Schaublin for a 1024. He does not miss the Schaublin at all!

[@TommyJobson]

They are very much under appreciated and undervalued machines, and in many respects superior to a 102vm. Here in the UK a decent VM is £6000, where as my 1024 was under £1000 including transporting it!

[@ReubenSchoots]

@@TommyJobson That´s crazy! I guess the Schaublin name carries a heavy weight and an even heavier price tag. If a 1024 comes up in Australia for £1000 I would buy one immediately. I wonder what it would cost to have one shipped... probably an arm and a leg!
