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.

I love comments, but in order for me to have more time playing in my sawdust, I cannot respond to them here. If you have a technical question, please do not post it here, or I will have my wife answer it for me and her technical knowledge is highly suspect. For technical questions, check out the FAQ section of my website, or find my email link there. Mahalo and Aloha, Clayton
