--- Quote from: clockmaker on March 02, 2011, 11:11:30 AM ---No, I used a bought-in cutter, specially designed for cutting clock wheels.  If you scroll back a bit, and look at the picture labeled 'Picture 10', (I have found that if you give it a click it will enlsrge, but you probably knew that) you will see me cutting the teeth of the Great Wheel with a multi-tooth cutter on a 2MT arbor.  If you then take a look at the cutter frame picture, you will see the same cutter attached to the wheel on the cutter frame axle and pinned in order to prevent it from rotating.  I then used this as a fly-cutter to cut the teeth.  Is that OK?

--- End quote ---

Yep, whatever works.  I've just always had an interest in cutting internal gear teeth, but never knew how or where to get a cutter that would give me a proper profile.  Very clever!
