Guilloche - The Straight-Line Engine #1 - Introducing The SLE

Ойын-сауық

#guilloche
Hi Folks,
There has been some interest in the Guilloché aspect of the next Patron Series project, so I thought I'd shoot a video to give you a good look at the Straight-Line Engine in action. No narration, just a chill-out sort of thing, and I will go through the process of using it in detail once I've completed the project prototypes I am working on at present. The plate material is fine silver, the pattern is a basketweave, and the component is the inner dial insert for the indicator project.
Do please enjoy!
Cheers,
Chris.

    You can imitate these patterns with stamps, presses, or CNC mills : that's how they make the "cheap stuff". But you will never get the same sharpness and shininess. A press needs shallow angles and rounded features, a CNC mill makes thousands of minuscule cups per inches, and as many tiny scratches. A sharp engraving tool, making a single cut, and a single shaving, is the only way to get that result :)

    @@cavemaneca interesting ! Empirically, I think a drag bit would have trouble to do that kind of pattern, it looks like the key here is that the engraving bit stays put, while the plate moves, so, like a calligrapher with a wide tip, the width of the cut varies depending on the direction. A drag bit would imitate hand engraved curves very well, but to imitate accurately these streight line engines, and other machines a guillocher, I think you would need an extra axis to orient the engraving bit.

    That Engine Turning term gets misused sometimes. Engine Turning such as used on the cowl of the Spirit of St. Louis is done in a completely different way than what was shown in this video. It's aluminum cowl would have been mirror polished first, then fine abrasive powder is evenly applied to either a rotating disk or to the aluminum. That rotating disk is then applied to the aluminum using as closely as possible the same down feed pressure and amount of time for each circular pattern. Each circle is then stepped over the last by half or less depending on the pattern that's wanted. It sort of gives a fish scale effect as the light reflects off each one. Passable work can be done at home with a bit of practice using not much more than a simple drill press, a wooden dowel, fine valve grinding paste and using something as simple as graph paper to get the spacing correct or at least even enough to the human eye. Engine Turning is the correct term for that aircraft cowl, this video is about guilloche or straight line pattern work.

    It looks semi man powered and the weights and gravity ensure a smooth and continuous work movement. It seems that whatever pattern you require means changing the position of the follower to a number of different pre determined pattern dies which are followed by a type of cam that provides the intricate movements for the tool on the workpiece. It's kind of a vertical shaper, but the tool/work moves in two planes instead of one. I would imagine that excess wear between the cam and pattern dies could result in poor quality engravings. looks like you need to keep it in a good state of repair and to find one in this condition means it has been well looked after. Proviso: I may be completely wrong, as I have never worked in the watch making or jewellery sector, however engineering is my bag baby.

    @@nickmaclachlan5178 Yeah the tool doesn't move during a cut, just the workpiece. The vertical motion is continuous, while the horizontal motion is driven by the cam. After each pass you index the height of the cam rack and the horizontal position of the tool. A combination of the cam pattern and the offset increments on each pass form the patterns.

    Not only tedious, but it requires complete concentration. To make the pattern he needs to turn the feed wheel a certain distance after every pass. Clockwise for five passes, then counterclockwise for five passes, then clockwise for five passes, over and over for the hour or more that it takes to finish the piece. And if he ever misses a count and turns the wheel the wrong direction, the piece is ruined and he has to start over. There's no fixing mistakes.

    There's a YT video of R W Smith engraving a watch dial with the same or nearly identical machine and the same basket weave pattern. Smith was George Daniel's apprentice and inherited all his machines. Smith said it took him two years to use it to the same quality standards Daniels demanded. If that's the case, it explains Chris' absence from KZread for the past year and more.
