Hi
Just read this post
Very impressed by the way you have used what you have to make parts many people with "propper" gear would be afraid of
Very well done and posted
John
Having proved the cutter we can move on to the next job.
This clock has 2 escape wheels that can be cut as a pair so using the same set up, we cut once for the radial face, and again for the back slope.

Looking good Brian!
Did you mill out the scrap between the teeth, or file it?
Tom
Hi Tom the part between the teeth was sawn out then cleaned up with a swiss file.
I am keeping my word only to use the tools stated in the intro. The mill is banned!!
Brian.
where u getting your saw blades????
nice work
Hi Dave
It looks as tho when i finally write the instruction book I will have to add a appendix for those that have mills and dividing heads.
Even if its only to stop your little man crying!!!

The blade used was .006" thick and 32 teeth / inch.
google

In keeping with the original idea for this thread it was used in a fret saw frame from the 1£ store.
