Watchmakers Staking Tool Conversion Chart Punches – PDF Download – UPDATED

/ Watchmakers / By

I can count the number of times I needed a punch to stake a balance staff and didn’t have the exact size I needed in my K&D set. I had dozens of  punches made by other manufacturers. I had to eye-ball them until I saw one that came close.

I could have saved hours of sorting through stakes, if I had a conversion chart. I had Boley, Marshall, Bergeon and others. I had a feeling I could match the numbers up if I found catalogs with sizes and shapes.

It took weeks to find the catalogs (especially the ones from Europe) but I did it. Then I had to match the various punches and I did.

I used Microsoft Excel and created a table and filled it cell by cell. I don’t horde and I know that many of my friends and customers would like this chart. I’m making it available to you.

Here it is:
