Watch cleaning tools and consumables
Watch cleaning involves cleaning of watches inside and outside. There are cleaning machines and tools, cleaning solutions and compounds that help the watch maker achieve effective cleaning.
The 12 piece emery buff stick is a very useful hand cleaning tool; it has multiple uses and comes in three different grains. Each of these sticks used with a different cleaning liquid can impart different finishes to items. It can be used for re-graining of clasps, to remove scratches from bracelets, to smooth a plastic watch case, to polish crystals or to clean rust from watch parts. The Elma RM90 automatic cleaning machine uses the counter current principle for cleaning. It is used to clean out watch movements by keeping them submerged in the cleaning solution and creating counter currents. It can also clean dismantled movements by using the optionally provided wire mesh basket arrangement. The wire basket changes direction every 5 seconds in clockwise and anti clockwise directions alternately to give maximum cleaning efficiency. This automatic machine is useful for cleaning of quartz watch movements as well as mechanical watch movements assembled or stripped. This machine measures 350 * 350 * 630 mm and comes with a two year guarantee.
The Silverline product, Silverline 135W Rotary Hobby tool kit is a useful kit for both professionals and hobby watch makers alike. It has a 135 watts motor and a 3.2 mm chuck. The accessories accompanying this kit are sanding discs and bands, grinding, polishing and wire wheels and a carry case to hold all this in a compact manner. With this kit, all kinds of cleaning and polishing can be managed. While working with cleaning machines and solutions, it is important to protect the hands and eyes. For this purpose, latex finger cots and safety eye glasses are available.
Cleaning compounds are effective cleaners. The A&F rubbing compound is used to clean balance wheel pivots and train wheels. It is suited for removing stains like finger marks from plates, dials and bridges; it is also used to remove excess oil from jewels and to safely remove broken pivots. It finds multiple uses as a cleaning compound, holding compound and securing compound. With the Bergeon 2552 one dip solution, hairsprings can be cleaned instantly. It not only removes dirt and grime but also provides a protective coating to resist rust build up. The AmberKlene FE10 electronic cleaner and de-greaser is a product that is used safely on electrical components such as circuits and contacts for cleaning and de-greasing them. It has a high cutting power and instant evaporation properties. The Bergeon 2245 solution F45 is meant for professional use. A strong cleaner, it removes grime, dust, gum etc without dissolving the shellac. It dries fast and is non-corrosive as it has no acid content. It is effective when used in the final jar of the cleaning machine.

What supplies/tools will I need to make a simple glass bead necklace and bracelet?
I am interested in making my own glass bead jewelry, but I have no idea where to start or what to do. I've checked a couple websites but they use terms I don't understand or the directions are too confusing. What would be a good glass bead project for me to start off on, and what basic supplies and tools do I need to buy to start this hobby?
Thanks!
when I wanted to start a few months ago I went to the craft store and bought a cheap beginner kit. It has what you need to make just practice pieces, once you get familiar then you can start spending the money on the glass beads that are available. I personally switched to crystal once I got the hang of it. Super easy and fun to do. I believe the beginner kit will also come with your basic tools. Good Luck
