I have tried cutting by hand, using pins instead of teeth, what I want is to cut a variety of different small sized cogs some out of wood using a close grained wood and some of brass, to use in making automata.
Has anybody had experience of the micro milling machine by proxxon I would be interested if any one has one, or had experience of using one, and what their capabilities are.
There is a way using a fly cutter in a pillar drill but you need a way to pass the gear through it .......
by the way thankyou for the replies so far, scroll saws can be used but i am after something less time consuming, the books mentioned are very good, but do not mention gears
thankyou all
