Hi again,

Just out of curiosity, what happens if you make clock wheels out of non- leaded brass ?

Thanks again

The problem comes in the making …

"Hard Leaded Engraving Brass" produces beautiful little chips from the cutter.

"Brass Ordinaire" smears.

It's like the difference between hard Aluminium Alloys and soft Aluminium sheet.
