Creating an Accurate Escape Wheel

If your accuracy at the scroll saw happens to be a bit lacking, here are four steps to help you create a wheel with a high degree of accuracy. 

I chose the escape wheel for this demonstration because the escape wheel has the most exacting requirements of any of the clock's train of wheels.  However, these four steps can also be successfully applied when creating any of the clock's other wheels.

The parts shown in green on each picture are the parts to be cut or sanded at that particular step.
