I'm trying to cut a replacement worm wheel for my saw and am getting confusing results. I'm going to say right up front that I don't know what I'm doing and this is my first attempt at making a gear.
I measured up the worm and made a hob to match. It is 1.182" OD and 4tpi. I don't know what that works out to for pitch.
I cut one blank at 2.050" and ended up with 26 teeth that were ugly cuz I gashed it the wrong direction. So....round 2, I cut a blank at 2.000" and ended up with 27 teeth without gashing. The goal is 23 teeth.
What gives?
