Next up the spindle ,in SS, i used a swam neck tool i made for the threading and 16 DP worm ,,,lost previously made tool ,,,,,, ended up having to cast up a quadrant to get the 16DP lead screw gearing .

Swan neck tool



Quadrant


The SS spindle was turned up between centres .
First the 16DP worm



Then the worm end was finished


the spindle was then turned around and the rest of the machining carried out .I used a bit of old copper tube ,split to protect the work.



ruffing the spindle to size .


Then finish turned and the threads screw cut.
