Cutting new threads on stems, what do you think?


Recommended Posts

Freddy-

Neither are available with that exact configuration (wider on the movement side than the crown side). In the case of the Cortebert it requires a 1.5 mm which is readily available but our standard crowns are usually never more than 1.2 mm. In the case of the 1.2 to 0.9 they are not available as stock either but you can normally use a 1.2 to .9 adapter which is available. The issue is the lack of room when you have a Unitas movement in a standard PAM 44mm case.

Very nice work, I would NOT have guessed that you'd be able to re-thread a shaft like that. It seems like the shaft would have broke or the threads would have been totally screwed-up. I'm impressed. You must have really tiny, steady hands (and good eyesight). ;)

At $60 per Die, it's not cheap to get the tooling, I just hope the Dies last a long time or that I don't break them like I did with my rollie crown tube tap...

Good quality tools certainly are not cheap.

That`s why I sincerly hope you are using some of this stuff,

absolutely MAGIC ( truly ) it will prolong cutting tool life by many years and the extra high quality finish

it leaves on the work is superb.

It really will make your life easier.

Avail. on Ebay also.
