Thread: Wheel cutting
03/11/2011 21:05:26
Doing some research before I start my first clock and still trying to get my head around the mathematics
First question
Is the 'depth of cut the same as the height of the tooth'. I thought it would have been but reading some threads on this web it might not be.
 
Second. Can DP cutters be used to cut clock wheels. When reading up on it, it seems Module's are always quoted when referring to clocks.
 
Thread: wheel cutters/cutting

Jason, thanks for your reply.as you've probably guessed I'm still a learner as far as this is concerned.
The article says, ' I finally settled on 0.6 module (42DP) as this is ............
 
As for the DP where did the author get it from?

I was thinking of making the beginners clock serialised in The Clockmaker some years ago and I've been reading the above and have 2 questions.
 
I want to know hoe you calculate the diameter of the blank used to make a clock wheel.
I know it is 2+the number of teeth divided by the DP, but how do you calculate the DP as this is the number of teeth per inch of the diameter and it's the diameter I'm trying to calculate?
 
Second the author of this article in the Clockmaker suggests using a .6 module 42DP for cutting the wheels which have 100, 96 and 30 teeth, yet everything else I read on this subject indicates I should use a number 4 (26-34 teeth) and a number 2 (55-134 teeth)
 
 
Thread: Slitting saw runout

Thanks everyone who responded to my query on running speeds of slitting saws. Now I know after about 2 years of searching. Using this site it took less than 24 hours.. Thanks again

You tube is briliant. Want to know how to cook a steak, get rid of the moss of your drive or how to silver solder. There's tons of useful stuff on there.

Anyone any idea how fast a slitting saw should run. Searched all the books but nothing. Not even the people selling them know. Only help was from an ole timer at the Midlands show who said 'run em slow'
