How To Make A Clock Part 5 - Cutting The Pinions

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.
