Thanks for all the information and advice about this subject.

I am aware of the wooden peg "spacer" jigs and there's a couple available commercially. To answer the inferred question "why build one like this?" - firstly; I want variable but repeatable joints. Secondly; the satisfaction brought by the process of making things!

Hi folks...I'm as far from being an engineer as is possible - woodworkwe actually.

Due to lockdown and my health problems, I can't go out and find the answer to my question in person so I hope you'll forgive what might be a daft question:

Is there such a thing as a chart that shows the lead (travel) of M sized bolts?

I'm trying to build a woodworking jig using threaded rods. This would, by turning a threaded rod in a captive nut, enable me to move wood in regular increments along on either a table saw or router and cut the fingers of joints at adjustable but repeatable spaces.

Hopefully, by using (for example) an M10 threaded rod and turning it a number of complete rotations, I could measure cuts of 6mm, 8 mm etc.

Sorry for invading the metal with wood-related things.
