I make wheels using a good hole saw and then sand similar to BadBob.  It only takes a bit of sanding.  And sometimes I am lazy and just buy a bag of wheels.

I haven't found a need for wheels yet. Except for my stationary tools.

Making small cars and such are fun on the scrollsaw.  I make small ones and carry a few when I travel.  I have given them out to little kids on an airplane and they and their parents appreciate it.

I used hole saws for a long time and have a collection of every size they make. Cutting them with the scroll saw gives much better results and lets me use small bits of wood I would never try cutting with a hole saw. I first used the scroll saw because I was making wheels from some wood that was tearing badly, and I had to cut them oversized and sand them to the size I needed to get smooth edges. I tried cutting them with my scroll saw and was pleased with the result.

Another benefit to using a scroll saw to cut wheels is that I can make any size wheel I want, and there is no need for a collection of hole saws.

That sounds like I can get it set up and give it a go.  It sounds like a practical way from both of you.  

I love this forum so many helpful people.
