Ok...
Someone needed a worm gear for the drive on the table feed of a Van Norman #12 mill. Theirs was all bungled up.
Started me to think. If you had to make one, what would you do? Would you need a dividing head, Acme screw, hobbing cutter?
In other words, has anyone cut a worm gear, and if so, how?
