I think if you are going to make a video about a worm gear then the worm wheel is also necessary since one relies on the other. A worm gear is useless without a worm wheel. This is only half a video. But the content is well-executed.

The title is misleading, but other than that it's a great video on how to properly define a worm, profile perpendicular to the spiral. I especially found the use of the "feature scope" tool a nice touch, limiting the size of the worm. Thanks!

One question.. why do you make an plan with helix and endpoint of helix for whorm and dont use planar surface of coordinate system like for threads? Why we make the sketch on different surfaces for worm and thread? thanks

Hi,
I was a great video for worm. Can you please make a video for worm wheel or can you share me link of video for worm wheel.

Thanks

This worm screw is piece of cake. The worm gear in other hand, is not.

[joesosnowski]

This is not a worm gear. This is a worm.

Isn't this a worm, and not a worm gear?
