I'm exploring Lemmy and saw no posts here, so I decided to make one with my current project :D

Here's a photo of all the gears after I cleaned them (don't leave them wet like I did in this photo - they will eventually rust. I later sprayed them all with AMSOIL MP which is like WD-40).

You can see the worm follower gear is worn out BAD. The symptoms of this machine were that it would studder/skip when encountering load.
