Flat polishing screws

Another job that had to be done was the polishing of all the movement screws as they all were in a pretty bad condition, full of burrs and a some were a bit rusty so I decided to refresh them and flat polish all of them.

I took my tripod a steel plate and some diamond paste and off I started polishing.

One by one I first removed all the burrs from the external walls and smothed them, then flattened the heads.

After that I bavelled them and made a slot bavel too.

Then I put them back in tripod and flat polished them with diamond paste untill they were all very shiny, cleaned them and stored them for future reassembly.

I also polished the regulator, the stud screw post and the cup jewel.

The click screw is a case on its own that will follow as I had to remake the screw.

Here are all the pictures of my work.
