Clock Gear Cutter part 4
In his first three videos William Porter explained the theory involved in designing a cycloid clock gear cutter as well as showing us the tools he made that will be needed to make a final clock wheel cutter. In this video part 4 he takes us right into the set up process and then quickly machines the correct radius and flank profile for his clock gear cutter. Talking with William he explained that the actual fabricating of a clock wheel cutter from beginning to completion is much quicker and easier than it appears in the videos and once you have made a couple of them they can be machined, polished and heat treated within a couple of hours. Not bad at all considering the price of a new cutter when purchased.
