Hi Khaled,
Welcome to the forum.
Whilst machining a worm gear using a milling machine and 4th axis sounds like a simple enough task, as a beginner you may find it difficult to set up the necessary parameters within Mach3 (as explained by Al in the above post).
Not wishing to deter you from the exercise but I think that using a screw cutting lathe would be a whole lot easier.
Tweakie.
nb. Please don't make multiple posts on the same subject, it is counter productive - thanks.
