Hi,

Got to repair a small turret clock made by Foster of Salford for a friend, Quite a nice compact clock, it has been carefully restored previously but it looks like the pallets are replacements from a long time ago and are badly made and having been cleaned up a number of times now have lots of drop on entry and exit with short impulse faces.

Dug out the books showing how to set out pallet making using measurements of the escape wheel and wheel centres etc and it struck me that the job lends itself to CAD and even some cnc profiling afterwards.

Question is has anyone gone down this route or can offer advice?

Thanks Peter

Hi Peter,

Take a look at Steffen Pahlow's you tube videos, I seem to recall he shows how he makes them in one of them. Could be this one but have not looked at it laterly, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fOgmvbOtjYk

Thanks Chris,

Very inspirational videos from a master craftsman.

I have found a good explanation of setting out vulliamy pallets by Claude Reeve in ME from 1966 which I think I should be able to use and adapt for what I want. A lot of the deadbeat set out drawings are very complicated—well at least to me!
