cutting with rotating cutter

Question:
Is lead screw a better tool to move the carriage correct in both direction than use the hand feed wheel?
If so, I will make a crank on the right side of the leadscrew.

(I am lazy, I do not want to stop the cutting wheel after a cut before returning it for the next cut.)

Yes!

Either method works, The carriage wheel gives more rapid carriage movement, a leadscrew crank gives more precise movement. Adding a leadscrew crank is pretty easy & gives you the option of using? whichever works best on a particular project.

Thanks Roy
I am cutting clock wheels for my private clocks.
Even though the Carriger has a very tight fit when I cut wheels, I feel there are a little bit twist when I return the cutter for next tooth.
One way is to stop the cutting wheel before return.

Anyway, I needed your words before making this crank.
(an interesting project)
