force pike questions

Working on a pool cue force pike. What did everyone use as an emitter? What was used for the emitter in the visual reference pic? Does anyone know?

I used a tap. The original prop used what is called a "worm gear hob".

Feel free to check out my build thread.

Yeah. I was on my phone earlier, and posting links is a bit dodgy. http://www.forcepike.net/forum/viewtopi ... =27&t=1246

Since I'm in the middle of moving I haven't had much time to work on the project, so it's currently on hold. I hope to get going on it shortly.

Hence the reason I used the tap.
