I thought it might be, now my mind has something else to ponder!
Not being an engineer I'm not sure about pitch/modulus etc., but laying a plastic ruler over the threads reveals that every tooth is exactly 2mm apart.
Maybe a piece of brass threaded rod with the right pitch could be pressed into service as a worm?
The wife has just got back from shopping, with some Brasso, so I've got work to do!
Diamond paste? haven't heard of that...
Thanks Bojan
