    That is a cool program. I was also just thinking that acme threads would be better for wood threads. If they are to actually be functional and used in such things as nut crackers and so on. This sure would make for an interesting project. If no one else bites, it will be on my to do list.

    Dan you might be interested in how he made the threads. It is on the MoI3d forum http://moi3d.com/forum/ in the search at top, enter makeexternalthread and you will see the post.

    Edit: so the rotary jig guys are not left out. Here is the bolt. I do think there would be much break out on the threads because of the direction the bit will be moving across the threads.

    BJB, I have yet to figure out how to carve the nut. The one I showed if carved, would be perfect. But one has to figure out how to carve it.
