Q: How do brass speed nuts work?
The cross-drilled hole lets the nut slide freely along a threaded rod until it reaches a clamping corner or obstruction; only then do the threads engage so you can tighten it in place.

The cross-drilled hole lets the nut slide freely along a threaded rod until it reaches a clamping corner or obstruction; only then do the threads engage so you can tighten it in place.
These 1/4-20 & 5/16-18 brass speed nuts come in both thread sizes, so you can match whichever threaded rod your jig or fixture already uses.
Yes, loosening the nut disengages the threads again, which restores the same free-sliding movement you get before it first catches on an obstruction.
