How To Make A Clock Part 5 - Cutting The Pinions

3/23/2015

0 Comments

 
In this video I cut the pinions for the clock from drill rod, and then harden, temper and polish them.

Another milling operation carried out on the lathe, using a cross-slide mounted vertical slide, a light duty milling spindle, a Sherline motor/speed control, and the Divisionmaster CNC indexer.

I also make an improvement on my Sherline lathe tailstock polisher, by making a tin lap for polishing the pinion flanks.

Machining A Finger Plate Clamping Tool - Part 1

A Finger Plate clamping tool is a valuable tool in any workshop, and is a great mini mill and mini lathe project. You can also modify the design to suit whatever stock you have in the shop, which means you can finally use some of that scrap you've been saving up for that special project.

In this first video of a 2 part series, I build the base for the tool, the cross hole jig, as well as the brass clamping nut. Usually associated with clockmaking, this tool really is a must for every home shop.

How To Make A Clock Part 4 - Cutting The Wheels

3/6/2015

0 Comments

 
In this video I go through the setup for cutting clock wheels, and cut the teeth for the 3rd wheel of the clock.

This is basically a light milling operation, carried out on the lathe, using a cross-slide mounted vertical slide, a light duty milling spindle, and a Sherline motor/speed control.

I also introduce the latest acquisition for the shop - a Divisionmaster cnc indexer.
