The ultimate wheelmaking jig for easy making of tractor wheels, truck wheels
The ultimate wheelmaking jig for easy making of tractor wheels, truck wheels and whatever your imagination comes up with.
As a toymaker making wheels with tread can be a difficult process but my Dutch engineer friend Jan has come up with this fantastic repeatable wheel making jig.
I need assistance from Liam at Goat Works in Penrith to cut the major parts with his CNC for accuracy.

I had some trouble with the assembly plus the sourcing the hardware.
A helpful gent on Instagram who'd also purchased and made one of the jigs, assisted me with his photos of the assembly.
I've finished mine off with Bumblechute "Shop Wax"

All in all both Papa Smurf and Handy Smurf are pleased with this addition to "A Crowe Creations" shed.

It realy looks complex and sofisticated!

Nice execution Peter, and I'm glad that it worked with the hardware as well.
As for the rear button, I wonder if it is large enough. a bigger one might make turning a little easier. But in practice you know that quickly, for the same it is not too bad.

Thanks for all the links. 😀
Neat little jig Peter. How does it work to cut the treads? I see you can set the angle needed, but I do not see a guide on the backside of the jig. Maybe a photo with the wheel installed and the tool used to cut the treads would help. Thanks for sharing.

Very impressive design, easily repeatable and accurate indexing, quite nice. Enjoyed the video, thanks.
Nice job Peter, anxious to see the results. Sometimes I find making the jigs as much fun as making the model.
