Your approach limits your adjusting to integer number of folds. One fold Two folds, ......so on. You don't have 1.3 or 1.3758 folds. Just insert one fold under the cock, then moving the foil with respect to cock screw, gives you infinite slopes of the cock, and shoot for the smallest end shake. In practice, smallest end shake is, one that, if cock screw is 99% tightened !! balance is not free to turn. But When fully 100% tightened, balance frees up to turn. It is a very practical approach. Mark teaches it in one of his videos. Regs

The clamping is brilliant. The jewels holding the pivot are spring loaded and retract as you tighten on to the arms. -
I thought I was getting OK at hairspring manipulation until I tried to detangle one on an Omega cal 455 - ladies automatic movement (with sweep second) just 16mm diameter (very small and fiddly movements - best avoided). The hairspring was just 3.5mm diameter. Even with my sharpest tweezers working under the microscope I had to admit defeat and find a new balance. In the 'flat' I could correct errors, but trying to make vertical twists was beyond me.

Yes, I understand. But one has to try, only this way the fear of the unknown disappears. I promise it will be not so hard to do and of course, if bending is too much, then lift it with some lever (bend it up) and with several iterations everything will be perfect. Never try to lift or bend down when the balance is in place, this is the important rule. If you have some useless movement, try and exercise on it. -

There are facebook groups ....but another forum that stores information from threads 🤷♂️ All we can do is wait and see what happens.
