Number of starts on worm
Is there any advantage to using 2 or more starts? From my calculations I need 18 teeth on the wheel with a one start worm. Does this mean I would therefore need 36 for a two start worm? I fail to see the advantage of this as it will just take up more room! Cheers- engineer1969
