We use EN8DM (BS970: 212A42) Medium Carbon Free cutting Steel for our arbours and pinions. We find this material, in its normal state, is hard enough for pinion work. However, the carbon content is controlled within the range that is suitable for components requiring flame or induction hardening.
Serving the trade in all matters Horological.
Please note: -
If you send a pattern, or any item to me: It is entirely at your own risk. They will be returned to you using Recorded International signed for if requested (Cost for ‘Signed For’ starts at £4-00). I accept no liability whatsoever for any losses. Major Works should be sent by insured carrier.
We have never had an item lost in the post in europe but would like to point out "you are not insured with international post even if it is sent as signed for".
Missing calendar work put back, Missing strike/silent put back. Missing trains calculated and restored.
I will undertake re-pivoting, Fitting replacement pinions to worn arbours and replace damaged arbours and wheels. I do not do small French work.
Email me for details.
