Re: Worm Gears

We used two worms for our arms last gear with great success.
Biggest drawback to a worm is efficiency - about 65% at best - so you lose a lot of your available power. I would look at using say the Dewalts.
With that being said I found some nice worms at http://www.qtcgears.com/
You might also search ebay.
