I gave up

I think there should be an axis option in the thread tool to do this.

Well done on your 'Rocket Sprocket' Kim.

Do you think it would be worthwhile making a training video for this with just the vital steps?

Thank you Harley! :lol:

I'm sure it is worthwhile making a training vedeo for this! Actually, I lost two days for making that... :lol:

It is the matter I enjoy Capitalists wasting their time :lol:

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 :lol:

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.
