watch supply companies sell sets of jewler's screwdrivers for this purpose-
start there - get the best you can - they are reasonably inexpensive - my
set has a dozen sizes, each with replaceable blades

Hi folks,

I am looking for a flat screwdriver with an exceptionally thin blade, for
use on clock mechanisms. The blade needs to be at least 3/16" long, but no
more than 25/1000" thick. Does anyone know of a source for such a
screwdriver? UK sources are preferred, if anyone knows of them.

I know I can try grinding my own, but I'm not convinced I can do it
neatly.

Follow-ups set to rec.crafts.metalworking.

Many thanks,

Chris Tidy

following up - BERGEON is the brand I have
http://www.julesborel.com/bergeon.htm there is probably a UK link too, but
this will get you started - these will serve you well, though they aren't
cheap
