Actually, I lost two days for making that... It is the matter I enjoy Capitalists wasting their time Anyway, there's a lot to prepare to explain steps, so if no one else is making one, I'll share it when it's ready for my rockets Kim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ASPEER Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 (edited) Very nice Kim. Coincidentally I was looking at doing something similar myself, and in my research I came across a couple of technical details. The worm gear wheel needs to have a bit of space around the worm for the lube, this is usually done by either using a slightly larger cutter, or making a couple passes slightly offset from each other. The other concerns the worm, in that they often control the backlash in worm gears by having slightly different pitches on either side of the worm's tooth (teeth). I also note having more turns in your sweep cut would change the tooth profile slightly, towards a more involute profile.
