Re: Worm Gear?

If cost is an issue, you can use non-precision or low-precision lead screw material. This costs up to 50% less than precision material, which can be had with accuracies better than 0.001" per foot. Even regular hardware store "all thread" threaded rod can be adequate if accuracy (less than a few thousandths) is not required.

If the price you find is OK, though, just buy it.
