7 forum posts 4 photos | hello Would anyone be able to help me. I have a carriage clock which has a contrate wheel that has had several teeth replaced over the years and is now beyond repair. I have emailed several wheel cutters and even sent the wheel to some but they all say the same thing, the wheel is too small for them to be able to cut. Does anyone know of anybody that could cut a smaller than normal contrate wheel? Thanks in advance for your replies. Cheryl

Constructive criticism alert.
Cheryl. That's quite a common remark. I found it quite tricky. Perhaps it's something the moderators might address. Few other fora that I subscribe to are this tricky. |

![]() 1766 forum posts 46 photos | Hi Larry, I don't know what device you use to access this forum, but when using Firefox web browser my screen looks something like this: The upper, left part of the screenshot has an "Inbox" symbol that can be clicked. Is your screen totally different? Thor Sorry for going OT. Edited By Thor on 03/08/2017 16:33:25 |

7517 forum posts 20 photos | Cheryl, There is a u-toob video by 'the village clockmaker' showing him making a similar peg spacing. https://m.youtube.com/results?q=village%20clockmaker%20contrate%20wheel&sm=3 So it can be done. Perhaps enquire to a proper clock or watch maker if the clock is worth the ivestment. There is a watchmaker in Stamford, who would almost certainly do it for a price - but likely insanely expensive. I have not used their services, but am told their watches are very pricey! I make things for tractors rather than this scale.
