Rob Shuster / SideWinder Drums | Quick vid of CNC making worm gear shaft @sidewinderdrums | Uploaded 1 year ago | Updated 2 minutes ago
Regular speed video (feel free to speed up if you are in a hurry).
Early testing to make a worm gear shaft. If everything works out, there will be a much longer and more in-depth video using this in the project.
The wood is just a cheap old 2x2. For a "real" project, it will be a better hardwood like maple.
There was a manual change to the gcode: after cutting the thread, I manually put in a line to move the bit away from the dowel before raising up.
The bit used (not sponsored in any way):
IDC Woodcraft 1" surfacing bit.
