Interesting device. What advantage does this dual-pitch screw assembly have over a single pitch screw assembly?

A differential screw enables an effective thread pitch that would be impractical for a single thread. In other words, you get both precision and strength.

Thanks for the info! Do you know of any manufactured products that use this differential screw assembly? I would like to see it in use in an actual product if possible. Thanks again!

Edit: Disregard the above comment because I found a couple of good YT videos that explain what differential screws are and how they are used. I could have used this idea a few years ago when I was making a precision adjustment for the tail stock on my lathe.
