Hi. I have to ask, is that a piece of saw-slotted PVC pipe snapped onto your leadscrew? I concocted the exact same thing for when I use my 8" chuck, to keep the saddle away from moving in too close by accident. It does the job, and was quick and easy to make on a table saw.
It certainly is
I put it on when I learned about truing up chuck back plates, it also helped to protect the leadscrew from the cast iron chips.
It's not the destination but the journey you take to get there that matters.
