Wow Pete, a very interesting answer and you calculated the DP for me!
OK, so here's the plan. I'll look for a larger gear to replace the driven gear, then I need to find a suitable idler and move its spindle on the arm to suit.
Because I run the lead screw on the slowest setting currently, I have plenty of options to go faster. I think I would like to slow it down by at least half the speed and if that does turn out to be too slow I can just up the speed in the gearbox.
