Is that Worm Gear part of the shaft, weilded on, or just keyed in, Cause it looks like its part of the shaft it self...

nicely done

I wish we had the tools and expertise to machine something like that

It is on a shaft, not welded :D

looks like the one from the kit, with the steel spacers they gave in the kit

looks are deceiving because they're not the ones from the kit :D

The ones from the kit don't give enough of a reduction...2:1 just doesn't cut it ya know

did you make the blocks or buy them?

we made them :cool:

then I stand by my previous comment:D

That's not a worm gear, that's a helical gear. Worm gears look like a big screw.


BIIIIG difference. Here's a purty picture of a worm gear.
