The worm is still in he lathe hiding behind the apron which I don't plan on pulling out until I get ready to see if this gear will fit. and yes the worm is an Acme Thread.
And no it doesn't drive the leadscrew, it drives the carriage feed.
Biggest thing is that if this doesn't work all I've lost is some time, but if it does I've save myself a hundred bucks cause that's about what it would cost me to get one shipped in from Grizzly with their crazy shipping schedule where they now charge you on the shipping based off what the amount of purchase is or some such crap. Anyway 70 bucks for a gear that was made in China they can stick that one where the sun doesn't shine.
