This video showcases the intricate process of machining watch gears. It begins with preparing a gear blank and creating an arbour to hold it using super glue. Precision is emphasized throughout the process. The gear's hole is bored, teeth are cut, and spokes are added. The milling of spokes is a unique approach. The wheel is meticulously filed and refined, and the final product is stored in a membrane box for future use in watchmaking. The emphasis on precision and attention to detail in crafting these tiny components is essential for watchmaking.
Here are the key facts extracted from the provided text:
1. The process involves machining watch gears.
2. The gear starts as a disc blank.
3. Historically, watchmakers used an arbour and shellac for mounting.
4. Modern methods use super glue for mounting.
5. Micrometers are used to ensure accurate machining.
6. A spigot is used and glued to the brass arbour.
7. The gap between the spigot and brass should be 25 to 80 microns.
8. The gear blank is 0.45 mm thick.
9. The blank is made from round bar material.
10. Milling is used to create spokes in the wheel.
11. Acetone is used to soften super glue for wheel removal.
12. Fine escapement files are used for cleaning.
13. Leather-lined jaws protect the wheel during filing.
14. Champagne corks are used for working on the rim.
15. The wheel is stored in a membrane box.
