In front of the difficulty of finding specific wrenchs for lenses, there is a cheap and easy solution to build them by yourselves:
We need a piece of a sheet of metal (brass, steel or whatever you have in hand), two bolts (with it's nuts and washers). Then use a jigsaw to cut the following shapes (two of them, identical):
Start by cutting the outer shape, then with a bit of the same diameter than the screw's diameter, make the two holes that will be the extremes of the inner shape. Then use the jigsaw to open the middle window. Be careful to keep the size equal to the screw's diameter (for tigthness). all along the way.
Once finished, then file the edges to match the notches on the lens, and you're trough!.
Regards.

Awesome! Thanks Jes! Doi, the adjustment feature is going to save me a LOT of material and grinding, as I was going to make a bunch of single-width 'wrenches'.

Hey Jessito,
Thanks for the reminder. Sometimes I forget that I have a milling machine sitting out in my garage. This would be a perfect project for it.
I have a question about material, though. I have occasionally had lenses to repair where the ring was on very tight. Most recently I encountered this with a Tamron 80-200. I'm wondering if brass would be stout enough for a really tight ring. What do you think? Seems to me that, even though the ring would be aluminum most often, I might need a spanner made from steel to handle the tight ones.
Also, there are no dimensions specified on your graphic. Is the image supposed to be the actual size of the spanner? If so, I'm thinking some folks might need to build two -- one the size shown and then a larger one, if they have large diameter lenses, like mirrors, for example.

Easy to do, and very effective. Obviously you wouldn't need 'several dozen charcoal briquettes just to do a small item like this, a couple will be more than enough, and a butane gas torch will get a small item red hot.

Perhaps you should use what I used to know as "gauge plate". It is basically high carbon steel sheet which is dimensionally very accurate thickness wise and is supplied fully annealed. It can, being high carbon steel, be hardened and tempered after shaping. |

Yes, any decent engineering supply shop will have that, and for the price it's not worth messing around with materials that might bend or break the first time some pressure is put on them.

have not read this post for a long time. anyway this is my improvise spanner fork. you MUST protect your lens element with a cloth or tape before using this. a slip would cause a scratch on the front lens!

I'll be buying a watch back removal tool I think. We sell them in work, with a number of different ends, some already flat, so I may not need to Dremel them. My big question is, will it be able to reach the required diameter to remove some of the larger rings?
Assuming it's suitable, I'll post details here, so that people in the UK can pop in and get one.

Probably not. It's meant for watches.

I hope so. You can see the min opening is 1/5 of the total length in the photo.

I just received the two watch back removers I ordered on the 15th - 2 weeks to US from China- free shipping - not bad.
As to the distances - the center to center of the tool ends is minimum 14.5mm and the maximum 56.5mm.
The adjustment is actually very fine and smooth.
It will be some time before I grind down the tips as there is no immediate use for the tool. |
