Step 1:
INSTALLING PIVOT REST
A: Slide the pivot
rest into the hole.
B: Screw
the thumb screw into the Morgan Pivot Polisher until it snugs the pivot
rest.
ASSEMBLING THE SHIELD
A: Place one #6 washer on the button head bolt. Slide the bolt though the hole in the shield then place the other #6 washer onto the bolt.
Now tighten the bolt into the shield standoff to secure the shield.
Set the shield aside for now.
B: Start the set screw into the swing arm.
Step 3:
INSTALLING
THE MORGAN PIVOT POLISHER
A: Slide the pivot polisher onto the tailstock of
your watchmakers lathe and tighten the locking bolt to secure the
pivot polisher.
B: Slide the pulley on the drive shaft of the motor and tighten both set screws using an allen wrench.
To power your polisher it is best to use a double ended lathe motor. A small auxiliary motor rotating in the same direction as your lathe motor can also be used.
C: Put the belt
on the pulley and drive shaft of the pivot polisher.
(NOTE:
Some motor adjustments may be necessary to accommodate your particular
lathe configuration.)
**Different
lengths drive belts are available through ClockBug.com
D: Loosen the
locking bolt. Twist the pivot polisher on the tailstock to tighten
the belt, and for better visibility.
**Belt
tension should be set at about 1/4" deflection with light finger
pressure.
NOTE:
Belt tension is important; it should never slip under normal use.
E: Slide the shield standoff into the mounting hole in the swing arm, position the shield and tighten the set screw to hold it in place.
Step 4:
USING
THE
MORGAN PIVOT POLISHER
A:
Mount your gear in the head stock with a collet, bezel chuck, or best
means possible.
B: Adjust the polisher so the polishing wheel is positioned against the shoulder of the gear shaft and covers the pivot face.
C: Adjust the pivot rest so the gear shaft runs true. Tighten the thumb screw to hold the pivot rest in position. The pivot will rest against the pivot rest during the polishing process.
NOTE: Adjust the headstock and tailstock so the pulley on the drive shaft will run straight with the motor.
D: Power the lathe
and polisher. Apply light to moderate down pressure on the top of
the shield standoff for the polishing process.
Light side pressure can also be applied for pivot shoulder polishing.
One or two drop of polishing oil every few seconds on the pivot and oil
wiper will help when polishing.
NOTE:
Keep the oil wiper saturated to get the best results.

Check the pivot frequently with a good loop ( 10 power is best ) for the desired finish.
Polishing may vary based on the hardness of the pivot. Polishing times as little as 15 seconds are common.
The above pivot is the escapement wheel from a cuckoo clock. It took 15 seconds to polish the pivot.
