Thanks steve,
from what i understand, the plate closer to the bearing is fixed to the ra shaft and does not move. so by tightening the bolts on the other side, you're pressing the cork onto the worm wheel?
do you have anything preventing the bolt going through the cork
I was thinking of using the ikea cork coasters but will have a few beers and use them instead!
did you machine the shaft collars and the plate?
i presume you only need to get the bolts tensioned right, and then you don't need to adjust them at all?
when you loosen the bolts, does the worm wheel move axially at all, as then it would misalign with the worm?
is the worm wheel on a bearing on the shaft?
thanks
