Chris,

That bar is what I refer to as a "Linear Taper Remover"   :D :D  (There is a story that goes with that name.)

Did the trick anyway  :ddb:

Making nice progress Chris  :thumbup:  when you come to cut the teeth dont forget to sadwitch the blank between a couple of backing plates or you will end up with bent gear teeth.  And give the mystery steel cuter a try out on a bit of scrap brass first.

Good luck

Stew

Yes, thanks for the reminder ...  I`ll need to modify my arbor to suit. Probably just a case of extending the mounting section. I`ve seen this done a couple of ways, I`ve seen them cut without any support, I`ve seen them cut by sandwiching between two thicker disks of the root diameter allowing you to take a cut up to the support disk for the correct depth of cut and I`ve also seen the blank backed up against a thicker wooden sacrificial backplate. I`m strongly considering using the later as the wooden backplate really supports everything and stops the teeth bending back as the cutter tries to push to formed teeth back. I once went to a clockbuilders house a few years ago and this was the method he adopted.

NickG:
Looking really good Chris  :thumbup:
