escape wheel is easy as as piece of cake

Thinking about how incredibly easy it is for you to make everything related to watches may be used should think of going in a new direction?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Daniels_(watchmaker)

Then there is somebody who followed in George's footsteps. Rogers a very interesting person I've actually met him twice I found him quite interesting and look what he's done with his skills. It does appear from what I'm reading that you beat these guys out So I was thinking maybe You should start making complete watch. Almost anybody can fix the watch but your skills are going to waste if you're not making a watch a complete watch

Here are two pictures and the video

On the pictures You will see the original damaged table of the wheel and the one that I have cut with the help of milling attachment on the lathe.

The video just shows how the movement works with the new wheel:

By the images and video names You will see that this has been made back in 2018.

I must explain some steps of the making as they are important and are not seen as the images are not enough to explain everything.

First, the new table is made with a little bigger diam than needed, and the teeth tips are not sharp as they must be in the end. The cutting here is simple process and is made with one passing only with shaped by hand cutter to give the form of the teeth as shown. The rough table then is riveted to the pinion and engagement with the lever (the drop lock) is examined on depthing tool. Then reducing of the diameter by grinding with fine diamond file while rotating the wheel between centers (in turns) is done untill the desired drop lock is acheaved. This is because in english lever one can not regulate the depth by shifting pallet stones. Finally, sharpenning of the teeth by hand filing the rear surface of the teeth is done until the tips get almost sharp (just verry small plates left on the tips)
