I would be interested in PDF's, pamphlets, and all books on the subjects of Using the Seith Tool and Jeweling. I am doing jeweling (The real jeweling, )not just replacing the setting with one from, a scrap unit but actually replacing the jewel stone in the setting. I have discovered a way to buff the inner hole of the jewel so its ready for a nice pinion. Let me know what you know about jeweling.

Patrick, I don't have anything to contribute, but I have interested in learning how to replace a jewel in a setting, I would be interested in anything you turn up on the subject.

Gary, I can verbally run you through it but would like to have the literature in any form. Just like pressing out the jewel setting in a staff jewel you place the setting on the anvil (Proper tools being used) and press the actual jewel out of the setting. Depending on how it comes out you may need to ream the hole a tad bit. The jewel should be about 1/2 a thousands larger than the setting and press it in. Use proper tools or you may get the jewel cocked in the hole without knowing it and the pinion will ride to one side if it turns at all. There are some very low quality jewels out there so before you buy the handful from E Bay ask where they came from. Some wont last 6 months. Use Ruby if you can. The others are too soft. Use the proper jewel, either a foundation jewel or a balance jewel. Make sure the old and new jewels are the same. Some being chamfered and some being squared off or flat on both sides.
Between Fried's book and De Carle's there is information on Jeweling.

Patrick,
I got chapters 12&13, my inbox was too full to hold 14, could you resend it. Thanks
Gary

Hi Patrick
a pdf of Seitz friction jeweling tool has been despatched at great cost to the ihc management.

Seitz Jeweling Manual

rgds

I have that, thank you. What I am looking for is a third party book or manual on the subject of jeweling with the Seitz unit. I also have De Carl's and Fried s books. Seitz's book is more like an advertising manual including what the tool does more than a, a -z on actually installing or changing jewels.
Thanks all for you help and efforts.
