A DIY Secret to Easily Turn Screws On Your Lathe!

[WmRMeyers]

Thank you for the definition of "abortion", it's the first time I've received such a kind compliment on one of my creations;

what you wrote to me is correct and I already knew how to do it, but it certainly wouldn't run coaxial;

I also wanted to create something different and functional, since you don't need spanner to lock the screw in position but only to rotate the 2 knurled parts by hands.

Not everyone needs a full-up lantern chuck, but for a lot of folks, putting the screw in a nut just doesn't give enough control. This is a good intermediate project for someone who wants to lightly customize some screws, but isn't looking at heavy production of complicated screws, or just making do. I like it enough to have download the drawings.
