If a simple cut with only one thread depth of taper will do the job, such as a compression joint for shaft coupling is needed, I have abused the entry/exit ramp in g76, by setting the taper to only one end, and the length of the taper to the length of the thread but minus one turns worth of the length of the thread. I did the same with the nuts. Then the socket for the screw was slit to the bottom of the central holes depth with an EDM sawblade which leaves no burrs. The end of the ball screw was seated in that socket, and the tapered nut installed so as to squeeze the leaves of the socket onto the end of the ball screw until I got the feeling I was stretching the nut. That is how I drive the x screw in my old Sheldon. That was now 4 years ago. And while I won't be around for another 85 years, I expect that will still be working 81 years hence.
