I have a myford lathe with a MT2 tailstock...Just kidding.
Actually I'm mulling over the procedure of machining a new worm for powerfeed on lathe. It's about 3" in length 6 tpi LH thread with approx. .800" bore. Am I assuming correctly that I should cut threads and shoulders to size first and then drill/bore out the bore second? I'm pretty confident that is right but I'll stand corrected if anyone shows me differently. Thanks
