I machined brass pins and then drilled and taped threads to accept the screws and tap. Works great perfect fit looking forward for the next course Doug. Comment from e bayer who made one , I made one of these per your info. It worked fine on a 16 size pocket watch back cover. However it didn’t work as well on the case itself.. One problem is that sometimes the 4-40 screws bottom before the tap. I suggest replacing them with unthreaded plastic posts. Don’t know if that will help but I will try that next. When using on the case body threads The tap and the 4-40 screws don’t fit between the threads and the stem holder. I plan to grind off one of the three legs of the tap so it will fit between the case body threads and either replace the 4-40 screws with unthreaded posts or grind one side of the screws so they will pass between the case threads and the stem. Another thing is the quality of the case opener. There is a lot of slop in the bit holders. The 4-40 tap should be in the bit holder closest to the handle. That one has the least slop especially in the in/out direction. Also the 2 plates of the case opener are held apart by 4 spacers. If you shorten the spacers for a tighter fit, that will reduce the slop. If the tap leans away from the threads that will cause it to remove more material from the top threads and less from the threads near the bottom. This could be why you couldn’t screw the case back all the way down. Keeping the tap more vertical will help that. Also in the past when I had a case back or bezel that was tight or felt rough I put a bit of Wenol or polishing paste on the case threads and then put the case back or bezel back on. Then as I watched TV I would screw them together and twist them back and for through the range of the fit until it felt smooth. This method removes material where there is interference.

UP FOR SALE IS A REPLACEMENT SET OF 2 BURNISHERS. CASE AND WRENCH IS NOT INCLUDED. ONE SET OF BURNISHERS ARE COARSE THREAD AND THE OTHER SET HAS A FINE THREAD. I decided to make the burnishing tool out of aircraft aluminum. The only wrench available that would open up large enough to fit an 18 size pocket watch case was built poorly. Therefore I took the wrench apart and rebuilt it to be rock solid. After doing a lot of research on the 12 size 16 size and 18 size I have discovered that all of the American pocket watch cases are cut on an SAE thread. SAE means The Society of Automotive Engineers. The threads are cut on a 60 degree pitch. After going through all of my cases, The wrench will come with 2 different size burnishers. In order to determine what size burnisher you need to be using you need to place the burnisher directly on the thread. The burnisher that fits perfectly will not allow any daylight to shine through…… You may need to use an eyeloop to see this. When using this tool it is important that you do NOT force anything into place. You need to gradually and slowly turn the handle in order to close up the threads. You do NOT want to use a tap because you do not want to remove any metal. With the tool I made you want to re-form the Threads. You want to maintain the structural integrity of the threads. When the tool is in use put some machinist oil on the threads. This will help with the application. The COARSE thread Will work on most of your 16 size pocket watch cases.
