If the backlash on the worm drive can be adjusted, and I can find one cheap enough, I can't see why it wouldn't work. It would be fun to make one of each design, but that's not too likely to happen. Sometimes, I'll visit a friend or a dumpster and fate will decide what I do. It sure would be nice to have a little less fate in my life (or not). -- Kirk Wallace http://www.wallacecompany.com/machine_shop/ http://www.wallacecompany.com/E45/index.html California, USA ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Register Now for Creativity and Technology (CaT), June 3rd, NYC.
