A wheel-cutting engine is a mechanical device used to cut or engrave intricate designs into watch components, such as plates or wheels. It consists of a frame, a rotating wheel, and a cutting tool, all of which are powered by a motor. The wheel, which is typically made of steel, is mounted on the frame and rotated by the motor. The cutting tool, which is usually made of diamond, is attached to the wheel and used to engrave detailed patterns onto the watch component. These wheel-cutting engines are used in the production of high-end watches, providing a level of detail and craftsmanship that would be impossible to achieve by hand.
