Pallet Fork Holder 100 mm Watchmaker Tools

A pallet fork is too small and delicate to hold in tweezers while you inspect the stones or work on the shellac. We size this tool at 100 mm to give your hand steady purchase above the bench mat. Catalogue number 30433 clamps the component flat so the arms and stones remain accessible under the loupe.

Holding the fork

The jaw receives the body of the pallet fork so the arbor and pallets remain clear of obstruction. This holds the piece flat while you check stone depth or apply heat to adjust the shellac.

Handle length

The 100 mm body gives your fingers enough length to steady the assembly against the bench top. It rests between thumb and index finger without crowding the loupe or your tweezers.

Bench stability

We machine the tool to lie flat on the work pad. A tool that rocks on its side risks throwing the pallet arbor, so the base is kept even and balanced.

Workshop care

Keep the clamping surfaces free of dried oil, pegwood fibers, and old shellac flakes. A quick wipe with pith wood before inserting the next pallet fork keeps the seat true.
