Hi,
I'm new to this forum and wondered if there were any other antique clock collectors here, perhaps using their machines to make gears and other replacement parts for the clocks.
Thanks!

Nelson,
I'm not a collector but I am using my CNC Mill to make 8 day longcase clocks. I have an old Carroll Dividing head I converted to CNC which makes it easier than doing the manual indexing for gear cutting. In addition, I am now able to cross out the gears in minutes intead of hours using the mill. I never did like crossing out gears by hand.
Best Regards.
