This is my 6" HV RT Dividing Plate Rant.......

This issue of worm gears is sometimes as matter locating the worm closer to the gear to take out the play (easier said than done, but very doable with a little effort).

In case of indexing in all cases, go only in one direction, if you overshot well go back far enough that you need to fully approach properly, retains the accuracy. I agree a lot of the smaller hobbyist tables need a lot of work to get them anywhere near close enough to be worth using.

I guess that explains why cars have the problems that they do

You can agree to disagree but that comment was inappropriate and irrelevant.

But I’ll add to it anyhow: Cars now are more reliable than ever. (Not sure about EVs). My (SUV) car’s maintenance schedule requires an oil change every 12 months. WOW.
In the auto industry, yearly technology improvements have been absolutely amazing!!

IMO: He has forgotten more about automotive tech than most of us will ever know.
