Hi,
I hope this is the right place to ask this question. I have a bartels stepper driven scope which uses molded epoxy worm gears. These work OK but one day I would like to build something more accurate. I don't have a lathe so I wondered how good a gear I could produce with a jig like the one described here:

Rather than use aluminium, I had thought about using plastic which would probably be quieter when paired with the stepper and metal worm.
What do you think?
Thanks,
Rod.
