Sycamore67 Posted May 2, 2023 Report Share Posted May 2, 2023 I make wheels using a good hole saw and then sand similar to BadBob. It only takes a bit of sanding. And sometimes I am lazy and just buy a bag of wheels. kmmcrafts, BadBob, OCtoolguy and 2 others 3 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sycamore67 Posted May 2, 2023 Report Share Posted May 2, 2023 Making small cars and such are fun on the scrollsaw. I make small ones and carry a few when I travel. I have given them out to little kids on an airplane and they and their parents appreciate it. kmmcrafts and OCtoolguy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cutting them with the scroll saw gives much better results and lets me use small bits of wood I would never try cutting with a hole saw. I first used the scroll saw because I was making wheels from some wood that was tearing badly, and I had to cut them oversized and sand them to the size I needed to get smooth edges. I tried cutting them with my scroll saw and was pleased with the result. Another benefit to using a scroll saw to cut wheels is that I can make any size wheel I want, and there is no need for a collection of hole saws.

Loskoppie Posted May 3, 2023 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2023 Charleyl and Badbob That sounds like I can get it set up and give it a go. It sounds like a practical way from both of you. I love this forum so many helpful people. Barbara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
