Default Ultra thin screwdriver


"Christopher Tidy" wrote in message
...
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


Step 1 : buy a normal screwdriver

Step 2 : Old watch & clockmakers method, file crosswise to thickness. Do not
grind!

Steve R.
