Testing Gears
The nice thing of cutting the gears with the CNC is the precision: Everything fitted perfectly and no rework at all. I made a mistake opening the holes in the frame: the one for holding the arbor of the escape wheel was too big so I inserted a brass tube and fixed the arbor to the wheel. I had to cut a longer arbor and add a stopper in the back of the frame. I asked Clayton about this and he explained that he does not like bushings but I think that this one will not harm the final result…
Tomorrow I will add some finishing to the wheels and I will start to work on the pendulum and the electrical part. I am also milling a new dial but with a small modification in the thickness of the Roman numbers.
