Beautiful project, clockmaker, I love postings like this that show the ingenuity behind making things.  I do have a question.  Did you make the gear milling cutter used to cut the internal gear teeth?  How did you determine the profile?

Thx... Chuck

clockmaker:
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?

Splendid workmanship, I too love to see how people overcome working the parts and part holding, to me its 85% of what we do, a challenge I revel in.

Again great work please keep on sharing.      Happy days,   Anthony.

Very nice. The frame for cutting the internal gear is interesting.
