Wooden and brass clock gears are made in groups by fastening a number of blanks of correct diameter to a spin index on a mill drill and cutting one tooth at a time with a form cutter as shown in pictures above and below |

Clock gears must be adjusted so that they mesh properly. A depthing tool is ideal for this. Both gears with their pinions can be moved together or apart while maintaining the parallelism between the two shafts of the wheels. the ends of the shafts are ground so that they can be used like a pair of compasses to arc all of the points of best gear contact. As you can see this one is hand made by me. |
