You've gotta be kidding .... an auction virgin ? I didn't know there was such a thing ....

No, what's effective is putting the part in a thread grinder. Then you get a nice part :D

I would only consider doing a worm that way if I was desperate. What the heck are you making ?

(This is...

Okay, that I can accept. There's a lot of other stuff that flies under the heading "cam" now, and APT is just for creating toolpaths.

But I don't accept that there's anything toolpath related...

Design something in inches, if you wouldn't mind - like wechat, I don't do metric cuz I don't have to, and it sucks :) - and I'd never use a "4 mm grooving tool" for something like that.
...

Really ? Because the major users of APT were doing five axis work. Last I looked, Fusion and the rest were not capable of that.

And your own question here would seem to refute that statement,...

If there's anything Doug doesn't need, it's an external spam detector :D

Ouch. I bet they got a pretty penny for a replacement, too. Yes, wormgears have a lot of sliding, so they want oil. And if they don't get it, they can be real grumpy :)

edit: found a pretty good...

In that case, I'd say "it depends" :) Single start is usually considered more accurate than multi-start, but the ratios are more extreme. They use cone drives for a few different purposes - one is,...

Oh, reading this over again, maybe I misunderstood you .... did you mean multi-start ? If so, I guess it's just as common as any wormgear setup, but isn't inherent in the design, just depends on the...

wtf ? Airstrip One is a minor outlying island of Oceania. That's you, bunky.

Does Emanuel Goldstein even exist ? that's for Big Brother to know, and you to maybe not find out ... unless you like...

Best that you don't, because all that stupid paranoid bullshit is poisonous. You are full of delusions and fearmongering garbage about the cannibals on the other side of the mountain.

I don't "fly...

Exactly. But I don't know if you should call it a lead, that usually means a straight line.

Whatever you do, it's confusing to describe :)

And don't forget, the shape of the tooth has to arc...

Not you, but "heard that story from" .... if I credited one tenth the stories I've heard, especially about commnists and Evil Managment and so on, I could write ridiculous teevee show scripts for the...

I don't think so. Not unless you could rotate your tool around a point in x-y as it traversed in z. Integrex probably can tho.

Not really, but now you're getting past my explanatory powers :)

Imagine a worm drive, in mesh, from above like on a topview drawing, with the worm blank laid out horizontally and the wormgear...

Double-enveloping worms are bigger in diameter at the ends, skinnier in the middle. They wrap around the wormgear in one plane, while the wormgear wraps around the worm in another plane. For more...

You are standing on top of a building, and the guy next to you jumps off and splatters on the ground below. Do you pay attention, or just jump off yourself, "Can't happen to me, I'm special, he...

The Cloud = Photobucket, okay ?

Fuck me once, shame on you. Fuck me twice, shame on me.

You believe that in the middle of the McCarthy hearings, while Nikita was pounding his shoe at the UN, the leadership of Chrysler invited a group from the Soviet Union to observe and photograph their...

What, I have some mystical powers to make you all act stupid ? You morons did this all on your own. I live 10,000 miles away. I even described what was going on in February and March of last year,...

When I was about eighteen I did a bunch of stuff for Bill van Zee, Central Safe, Oakland California. He did vaults; when B of A had a malfunction, he was the one they called to open the safe. Small...

Then the thing to do is set up your own website, because you don't own this one.

I always wanted to build an inline 92. Not enough time in this life but maybe in the next one ?

I clicked on 'Daily Posts' and counted 25 subjects per page. Of that number, two involved covid then all the rest were there for your browsing pleasure. I got to page 5 before I found another, and...

I don't think it has much to do with money. American Indians didn't even have money as we use the term, but they were quite environmentally conscious. It seems that most hunter-gather or other...
