So PLEASE everyone, could you add to this thread HOW YOU DID IT; for all to see both now and into the future, thank you..

[In advanced, I say a HUGH THANK YOU to all for your contributions]....Cheers Crowie

Hi crowie,

The other day was on youtube looking at some woodworking jigs being made and there was fella on there making monster truck wheels on a table saw. He had this piece of timber screwed to the miter gage on the angle for cutting the tread for the wheels. But I can't remember what it was called. I think if you in woodwork homemade jigs you may be able find it. I hope that helps.

Cheers Graham.

Hi Crowie, I use a modified Pen Wizard fitted with a laminate trimmer to make the wheels up to 90mm dia, they are 1 piece tractor wheels, if that is any help.

Dallas, I drilled a hole in the plastic base for a screw to obtain the curve I wanted. John.
