You can tile toolpaths in vcarve pro if that's what your using, think there is a tutorial about it on the support website.

Hi, I used make lots of wheels in 1/12 scale for the horse drawn vehicles I made. I do not know what kind of wheel you envisiage, but the best way is to make the hub, spokes and rims (known as fellows or fellies) seperately. Each fellie covers 2 spokes, ie a 12 spoke wheel would have 6 fellies. This type of wheel is usually dished. If you need to know any more PM me. G.
