It's a pity that for marine use it won't be self starting

Roy

Was shown that in the early 50's at Tech College

The use of double negatives is a no no

The use of double positives is frowned on as well. Yeah, right.

I would agree with Dave S especially as regards the ends of tweezers and also, don't squeeze them too hard.

Roy

You can't call yourself a gear cutter until you've done that. Incidentally, you're cutting the spaces between the teeth not the teeth themselves.

I was always told that any hobby is a pleasant way of spending money

You will not polish the brass on a belt sander

Can I ask what you were doing when they broke ?

Roy

As stated earlier bore size is 7mm. ( 02/04/2022 ) You only need leaf count for pinions, all wheels use one cutter

Roy

Don't forget that in a clock the wheel is driving the pinion. Not an ideal situation.

Roy

Note to Ian. If using Thorntons or Bergeons cutters, the bore of the cutter is 7mm.

Rik how about Slaithwaite ( Slowit ) or Barnoldswick ( Barlick ) or Alnwick ( Anick )

I've lived in the same house for 88 years. There are drawers that I've probably opened twice in all that time.

A photo would help

I find with LED lamps that if the lamp hangs down from the fitting, it lasts longer than if the fitting is upwards as in a table lamp. Maybe something to do with what heat is generated

Roy

How about dressmakers pins cut down

Sounds like you need a moisture trap in the air line

Roy

Too true
