Hi, I have just bought John Wilding book Large wheel skeleton lock with the intention of building my first clock getting away from engines and boilers, It seems I will have to buy five cutters to cut the wheels, I would like to know If I could cut these with a single point fly cutter, If I could where could I find the cutter form to copy, this might seem annoyingly stupid but even trying to find proper cutters seems to be a nightmare of endless numbers that mean nothing to me, any info would be welcomed. Regards Ken.
