I'm looking for some advice on how to model a spiral groove on a curved surface.
The finished item is a clock fusee. the metal blank is generally per the image below
The curve on the surface is of a fixed radius (2 11/16") . The groove needs to be 12 TPI.
I understand how to model a thread form - but only on a simple cylinder.
Any suggestions welcome.
Thanks, db
