I assume from your spelling of 'aluminum' :D that you're from North America ?? This may be of help: http://www.amazon.com/Making-Clocks-Stan-Bray/dp/1854862146/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1437074640&sr=1-1&keywords=making+clocks I might point out I have no ambition whatever to make or repair clocks. I was sent the book in error a couple of years ago and I did find it an interesting read before I sent it back. :coffee: Dave |

Steve: I'm hoping to make a cutter in the lathe - should be easier to shape it to the teeth that way. Plan to use drill rod and harden and temper it afterwards. I am however open to any other reasonable suggestions. The last gear (and first) that I made I used a single tooth cutter (fly cutter) and it worked well however it was a larger gear and larger teeth. I did a check for Mike's workshop and found a fellow who sells jigsaw blades and some small drills. Didn't see anything about making cutters - do you have a link? Dave: I have no interest in clock repair itself. Making gears and pieces interests me but I have too many interests already - have to draw the line somewhere. I am from Canada - should put that in my profile. Thanks, John. |

Jeff: Thanks very much for the information. Unfortunately I won't have much time in the near future as I've unexpectly been tasked with sorting out an estate. I did order Ivan Law's book on gears and gear cutting yesterday so should have that in a couple of weeks. Have also found some other sources of info and am trying to get my tired brain around various definitions etc. Thanks again, John. |
