I'm going to be trying this sometime in the future.
My lathe has a precision ground 16 x 1.5mm Acme feedscrew, trying to locate a replacement to use as a worm and hob... it's about 500mm long.
With the largest blank I'll be able to turn in my lathe(180mm), I should be able to get 360 teeth at 1.5mm pitch.
If I do manage to find a replacement feedscrew, would anyone be interested in a cut length?
