Last week I won an auction on some pocket watch timing washers for American watch sizes - I have a few sets already, but tend to buy them when I see a good set up for sale that I can get cheap because the sizes I'd use most are usually running low. I won these for just two dollars, and the one blurry photo didn't show the box. I am delighted that they came in this beautiful little wooden box, and how many watchmakers have owned this box over the past 80 or 100 years, keeping it together and in nice condition. What are your favorite antique tools or materials? -

Not shiny smooth as needles. Like sanded with very fine grit sandpaper. Never experienced and binding or drawing in. Anyway, I have 30+ years experience of reaming root canals. 🤣 Ouch! -

The german ones I have, have a slow spiral down them, and wind into the hole that they are boaching. Some older ones have straight grooves up them but that might be from sliding them in and out of steel....I doubt that though. So yours are as smooth as needles. ? -
Welcome to the forum. Once the screws are removed the back should just lift off but I expect the gasket has turned to glue and that's what's holding it in place. You'll need to try and lever it from the top between the lugs but take it slowly and don't push anything too far in. -

Really? Mine are perfectly smooth. It burnishes the insides of the hole until it's shiny.
