Whole trying to figure out how to wash my daughter’s stuffed lamb, I learned that laundry has GD&T. I always knew the symbols were there but I never knew what they meant

Has anyone replaced a tail shaft bearing in an NV3500 themselves or has anyone done a full rebuild themselves?

Took a while but it worked. Thanks for all the help from people who commented on my previous post. Gibbscam Threadtracer worked well for this job. All that’s left to do is blunt start the thread and broach the keyway. But that’s a Monday problem. Cheers to Friday 🍻

Anyone have experience cutting a worm screw on a CNC lathe without gear tooling? Or are there any gear guys who can help me with what the dimensions (besides the obvious ones) below mean? Our shop has Gibbscam with the threadtracer plugin and a 2-axis doosan lathe. Thread dimensions are below straight from the print I was given (that I remember off the top of my head because I don’t have the print in front of me):
OD: 2.699”
Pitch diameter: 2.30”
Start: .6283
Pitch: 5 diametral
Flank angle: 20°
Thread lead angle: 4° 8’
Thread height: .432”
