Staking Tool
A tool needed by every watchmaker, consisting of a shifting table or stake, around which holes of various sizes are arranged in a circle, so that any desired hole may be brought under a suitable punch moving in a vertical holder. Usually twenty-four tempered steel punches and four stumps are provided, which will be found sufficient to cover all the operations in the ordinary run of watch repairs, and the ingenious workman can from time to time add to these by making punches in his spare moments, if he finds from experience that he is in need of punches of a different shape. Fig. 295 illustrates the Johanson combination staking tool on the front of which a hairspring stud indicator is arranged.
