A Quick and Dirty Way to Fix Balance Wheel Cups for Old Alarm Clocks
I know there are clocksmiths clutching at their pearls at this one. I sort of am, as well. Whilst ever this wonderful example of American Manufactury brought forth at the turn of the 20th Century has a chance to live on, I wanted to do my best to make that a reality even if my methods aren't entirely coherent to the profession of clock repair.
I bought this as a gift to myself half expecting it to not have too many problems as it had all of its keys. Missing keys is a good sign that a clock has been around the block and no alarm clock is operable without them. The only outside damage was to the brass can which is a deep drawn dish that cracks due to the tension in the brass sheet left behind during production. I attempted to fix this with solder but I'd much rather a TIG afficionado with a brass welding rod to do the job for me.
Little did I know that this would be a huge undertaking for me. I am not a clockmaker, nor do I have any formal training beyond forums and UA-cam. The best I'd done leading up to this was to clean and relubricaate other clocks. Which is easy. This is not. To have this repaired by an actual clockmaker would require several months and lots of money as there are three within a 600km radius of me and both of them are heavily inundated with work.
At this stage, this old Waterbury alarm clock has been dismantled five times, had seven bushes installed and polished, had every pivot polished, and every spring cleaned. Every conceivable issue that could exist in a clock existed here in this 119 year old mechanism and the balance wheel was the worst offender.
Both the balance arbour and arbour cups were badly worn and I do not have a lathe to fix this properly. I had to improvise with my Dremel and a fine diamond stone for the arbour, and I needed to fashion a rudimentary tool to reshape the arbour cups. I figured, since this is a dying art, any information applied to the internet would be worthwhile.

Trooter Update

So it took a few sparks between the ears but I managed to clue in an update to the Trooter - the best and worst thing I've ever built. What I've done is replace the old block of hardwood that the original design was built around with a nice thick piece of pine plywood. I don't have the tools to add a camber to the board, but the flatness is somehow still nice to supplant my feet. Because the fr...

,😂😂😂 yeah that push button..had it in my trunk n it went off ....there is A video in UA-cam called "upgrade your ryobi inflator with a on-off switch" were the person added a switch and solder 2 wires that's all .im going to upgrade it to.
I'm extremely happy that you also struggled to get those brushes back in ... Think I'm gonna just buy a new motor lol
@@surefiremooly well actually I just did it wrong. I found out later that the brushes are super easy to remove and put back in, but the drill was a work tool so I couldn't make another video for it. And don't worry, it did get new brushes and an adaptor to run lithium batteries.
Is there seriously no online manual for these?
ty for the info
I just got these same Velcro Sanding Disc and love em. You used Oil at the end with the gray buffing Ones? What kind of oil?
@@HeatherDDawnHowes I was just messing with them to see what works. Oil does not work if you want a clean finish,but it was just basic 10W-40 motor oil
@@classydays43 Ahh okay I See. Ty
i have a problem with those 3 pieces of metal at 15:56 i cant get them to line up 2 are in and the third is on top of second piece can you help me.Thanks btw for the gearbox hel i couldn’t do it myself:)
Thanks for the response! If you're talking about the clutch ring, or those ring parts that I flipped around, there are divots that index with the casing. Sometimes it might be easier to put pieces together on the table so you know what it looks like when it's assembled. Just keep at it and you'll get there 😁
@@classydays43thank you i did it my drill sounds like a new drill without the chuck only the motor and gearbox because bearing pn that chuck holder is bad and i dont know how to change it can you help me.Where can i send you a video od that bearing?
@@PASKY-fb8ts You want to remove the chuck to get to the bearing between the chuck and adjuster collar because the collar and that bearing is removed towards the chuck end. There's a bolt inside the chuck that honestly takes a lot of work to remove. The bolt inside the chuck is a reverse thread and can range from a hex head to a Phillips head so look inside to see what it is. I didn't bother with my drill because the bearing was still good. There are plenty of videos on how to remove a cordless drill chuck which is why I never talked about it. If I remember right, there is also a tiny circlip holding the bearing in there so you might need to fashion a little something to pull it out. If the dust seal on the bearing is damaged and you can't read the numbers, bearings are measured by Outside Diameter, Inside Diameter, and width.
@@classydays43 i remowed the chuck it was easy but the problem is the bearing is moving up and down with a spring but there is that thing that does the hammer thing that doesnt allow the bearing to get of i cant describe it can isend you a video somewhere
@@PASKY-fb8ts perhaps uploading a video to your own channel will help me to understand what you're talking about?
Nice video thanks. I've just got into cleaning up rusty metal with a rotary tool and the sanding drums work OK, but this is exactly what I've been looking for. Just bought a set of these and some tungsten carbide burrs too. I'm hoping these won't wear out as quickly. The rotary tool / dremel is really a handy thing for cleaning up metal carefully (a flap disc on a grinder lacks a lot of precision).
Tell me you didn't put that extremely short brush back in. If it gets much shorter it's going to score the commutator copper!
I only put them back in as a placeholder and to test if everything worked correctly. I did get new brushes and installed them, but they took a couple months to arrive.
Helped rebuild a drill gearbox I'd taken apart, 8:05 I had no idea where those pins were supposed to go

Man your lucky!
15:43 yes, Classy. This is very boring.
Try and error video in poor quality, missing mounting of details like clutch …….
Sorry about that - I'm not excellent with video production. The clutch assembly is interesting in this one. The collar has an incline that interacts with a rod that goes right through the outside of the gearbox assembly and interacts with the clutch mechanism at the back. I couldn't work out how to disassemble that collar. With my other drills, the clutch assembly is in that collar. Personally, this decision by DeWalt was a weird one but I guess it made it more compact. On this drill in particular, the clutch was broken in three pieces so it didn't work. Being a sintered metal, there was no way to repair it short of machining a new part.
Just to clarify, this casette would make this noise as I got my road bike up to speed. I used the impact wrench to rotate the casette fast enough to troubleshoot this problem out of curiosity and that noise was what I discovered. I'll take it apart and let UA-cam know what I discover.
hay😀
How do I get part 2 et cetera ? Gearbox fell apart...
Sorry, my guy. I named the video something else. You can follow it direct to here: ua-cam.com/video/hy6wCaYepgE/v-deo.html
I hope you're wearing double pluggers for safety.
I should mention that drill and impact drivers increase torque with increases in speed. Turning a stuck flat head with a power tool means applying more power, but that power increases speed which in turn increases the chances of camming out. If you apply slow and gradual pressure by hand - preferably a screwdriver and not a right angle ratchet handle - you might not run in to issues as much.
Wow, thanks! I have a bunch of these that stopped working one day, but after doing this, they work like new!
All good, man. Glad to know my random tip helped you out
Good luck getting new batteries
Actually, I found some. They're not official DeWalt batteries, but they are NiMh which work for the original chargers. And yes, they're as bad as they sound. The drill works much, much better with a Makita LXT adapter and accompanying batteries.
You can get a kit from Dewalt which allows you to adapt the old 18 volt tools to accept newer, 20v lithium ion batteries.
impressive finger work mr.bobert!
THANKS!

the last piece of information i needed to recreate the death star.
That's why I omitted the THIRD thing to know about these! Without that, your death star is meaningless! Muahahahaa
That looks like p90
I should mention that this pencil can apparently mark any surface as long as that surface isn't oily.
Battery low!
NiCad batteries are so awful. I found a Makita LXT - old school DeWalt adapted that really brings this drill to life.
I should mention that all this works if you already know the basics, like how to place the chip breaker on the blade and how to adjust it properly.

Hi i bought the sanding disc and cut circle of sanding paper 60 grit . i must say there were lots of viberations , and the dremel turn very hot . i dont know why exacly . becouse i use it has a plane router with 335 plunge . and bit 654 , and it workd just fine . i am thinking that the over heating maybe got to do with the angle which i held the dremel . now i am thinking to try sanding with 577 handle .
These sanding discs do tend to grab on whatever material you're sanding. I've found that the pads work better if you don't sand completely perpendicular to the surface. On larger sanding discs, you usually sand on one side of the disc to reduce friction and allow swarf to clear from the other side.
Cool vid. Yeah the AEG heads fit on this Ryobi multi tool. If only the AEG right angle drill head didn't cost an arm and a leg. Techtronic should release it under the Ryobi brand for half the price.
Hey, could You help me with something? I recently bought this cheapo sanding set, it came with small sandpaper discs and bare rubber pad on a rod... How I'm supposed to use this? I tried to peel back side of sanding discs, and theres no glue underneath... nothing
Those bare sanding pads without the Velcro backing are supposed to attach to a regular arbor wherein the centripetal force of the disc spinning is supposed to account for the lack of a backing pad. They work kind of okay, but be prepared to swap them out every twenty seconds. I have seen rubber discs like what you've described. Die grinders have a similar attachment and were designed to remove adhesive residue.
@@classydays43Hmm, there must be error on the box, in translation, anyway... this adhesive remover sounds kinda usefull, not always thinner can be used...
@@BSOE3058 the rubber disc is useful for when solvents and thinners may damage the material underneath, but be prepared as the rubber disc can leave its own residue or burn things like powder coat or paint. But yeah, if those sanding discs have no Velcro backing or adhesive, chances are they're going to simply attach to the cut-off arbor and operate without a backing.
Thats the business model, the actual rotary tool is so cheap they have to sell you loads of accessories for it to be profitable
Great Video. I love my DeWalt DC988, I still use mine on an daily basis and it's still going strong. I've had mine for so long I can't even remember when I bought it, it must be min 12 years ago. I'm sure the key to keeping these machines going is not to over stress them. Be kind to it and wisely use the 3x gears that DeWalt gave it. I will be very upset when mine finally lets go. Amazing little gearbox
It really is an awesome drill. Once the brushes and batteries were replaced for this one it now runs like a dream.
Nice tune bro. Learn to play next time you upload something.
Long live the queen 💗👑
I forgot to mention the sanding pads this came with last a long time compared to typical sanding drums. Unlike the paper discs and drums, this doesn't scallop the surface, so this works exceptionally well for that.
Madd editing skillz bro.
I have a Ryobi RMT1801 (2017 version), but it has the cutouts on all four sided of the rubber boot. Maybe a slightly later manufacture date, but it means the tool head can be used in all four orientaions without removing the rubber boot. As for Ryobi missing a trick by not releasing additional heads, well I have some news for you. You can actually get quite a few different heads for the RMT1801, such as angle driver, rotary cutter, reciprocating saw, metal shear, jigsaw etc. They are for the Rigid Jobmax Multi tool which is an identical fitment to the Ryobi RMT1801. There's a guy on YT bought (AutobahnDan) from 2021 and tested some at the link below: ua-cam.com/video/ndygruSr7jQ/v-deo.html Being Rigid branded, they were originally very expensive, but you may find them cheaper now, although checking eBay there's a new 5-pice kit for $250. Ouch! Not sure about availability outside of the US though. Large range shown here: i.postimg.cc/d1pK424Q/JobMax.png
