Re: Who makes their own wheels?
In the years we have done West Coast drive with traction wheels we have used custom wheels. We have our sponsor machine them for us but we could make them ourselves if we so desired.
One thing you should look into is milling cutters where the shank is smaller than the cutting flutes, look up T-slot cutters. This might let you make it all in one go on your router if you are clever, it's how our sponsor machines them.
The most important feature you should look at how to machine is the cross slot for installing the tread on the wheel.
