Looks like it does, but its locked on tighter than ? > Anyway, unless the backlash is visible axial float in the worm shaft, > it probably isn't that. Feels like worm to worm gear clearance, probably because it was adjusted while sitting on some swarf. I can move the handle about 3/4" before the spindle moves. It should adjust out, once I clean it out. Right now that plate is 5 lbs of useless weight and its hiding the endplay screws lock screw. And sort of drilling a dimple in the edge, to place a rod into, the whack the side of the rod to loosen it, there appears to be no wrench flats on the hub or any other way to get a really thin pair of channel locks on the hub. It ought to have spanner pin sockets in its face or some more obvious way to remove it. For over $600 brand new, I am less than impressed. I've got 2 needles of swarf in my left hand now from trying to handle the thing.
