Nice work. I was expecting a single pointed 1/4 -40 thread, as I am going to try and make a tap from a drill and should br fiddling with that for a while. Enjoyed the vid, cheers!
I hope you’re doing well! I have a couple of ideas for an auto disengaging lead screw nut that I’d like to share with you. Segmented Nut Design: This would involve the nut being split into 2 or 4 pieces, held together by a spring. When the screw hits a stop, a spreader cone would disengage the nut. Cone-Shaped Ramp Nut: In this idea, a cone-shaped ramp nut could be positioned at the end of the shaft or along it with a jam nut. A spring-loaded half nut would then roll up onto the ramp to disengage. I think both concepts could offer some interesting functionality. Let me know your thoughts, and if you’d like to chat further! Best, Dean

I decided to do it with a die in the end 😂
