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

It's very easy to do "neatly" from a bit of drillrod (silver steel to
you) if you have access to a vertical mill. It can certainly be done
by hand with a Dremel but that does take a bit of patience and skill.

Check UK sources for gunsmith screwdrivers, if there are any.

You might even find something at Farnham's.
