studleylee;
They are on the list, however how to cut them out other than 3D remains to be the issue..
Cheers
Bob

Yeap, + my vote for cutting/making worm gears and driven gear.
Methods to cut:
The worm:
Mill: Cut by single tool profile cutter, and helical outside cut path
Lathe: Like thread cutting but with profile tooth cutter.
The driven Gear:
Mill: on a 4th axis, that sits on a sine plate for the angle, and a profile tooth cutter as above.
It would be real cool if the software could make a 2D (and maybe 3D) drawing of the Cutter Tooth Profile that we need.
We could then grind our own.

I would be great with a 3D model to be used on 3D printers.
