The problem I have is getting the correct settings for the anchor pallet jewels. Has anyone got a base setting I could try. Unfortunately the jewels are not a tight enough fit to play with without shellac on them first. It is driving me potty as every setting adjustment is a long process. I have read that the angle should be 2deg. but how to I measure that?
derekas:
I’m about to face this today myself. If the hole is just slightly larger than the jewel, you can use your staking set tools.
I have to ream out the hole to clean it up a little, so I already know that the jewel will probably be loose. If you can use another jewel as a depth reference, use the micrometer on your jewel pusher or staking set to measure the final depth so that you can set the jewel back to its original depth (which may not have been correct anyway, so don’t sweat this part). If not, then you’ll just have to guess at this until you can check for end shake.
Next, I plan to use a round face hole closing punch to fix the problem. (My K & D set has punches # 112, 115, 116, 117, 118, 119 & 119A available for this, but you may have a different set.) Here are the directions from the text “The Watchmaker’s Staking Tool” by Lucchina & Perkins, page 91.
“Occasionally a hole is very slightly too large for a jewel. In this case, the hole can be closed a small amount which usually corrects the problem. …The plate, bridge, or cock is supported on a solid stump. A round face solid punch which has a diameter that is approximately two times the diameter of the hole is used to close the corner of the hole. The lever of the jeweling attachment is used on the end of the punch to apply enough pressure on the punch to close the end of the hole.
CAUTION: This operation can easily be overdone as this process is very effective.”
Now… if the hole is larger than “very slightly too large…” (whatever that means) then as you said, you’ll need a jewel setting. I don’t have any of those to send you but I did see a selection on eBay.
Another set…
According to de Carle in “Practical Watch Repairing” (pg.255), these settings come graduated just like jewels in increments (I.D and O.D.) of 0.01mm.
After all of that, I’ve never done this before so I expect to mess things up anyway. Heck… I’m still trying to decide which way the jewel goes in. 
I’m sure there are others here with better advice.
I hope this helps!
