The program 'Wheels' was made by extracting part of the 'Master CNC Utilities' program to make a freestanding g-code file producer for designs of spoked wheels.

Wheels downloads as an exe file.

Run this program.

The Wheels program will ask for the dimensions of the wheel, the tool diameter, the total depth of cut, and the number of cuts.

You can input values in mm or inch, but not a mixture.

 It gives you the choice of style of wheel. Number of spokes, parallel or tapered spokes, or arcs between spokes.

Finally it draws the wheel you have defined and then gives you the option to save the g-code to a file.

Please note that ".bbc" might be added to the file name you specify, so check, and if necessary rename the file by hand. The program was written in 'BBC Basic for Windows'.
