The split nut, also known as half nut enables thread cutting on a lathe. It is engaged around the lead screw (which is housed in the apron attached to the saddle) and moves the saddle in the required direction at the required pitch.

Is lathe a lever or not?
A lathe is not a lever.
What is meant by pitch measurement in lathe?
Pitch measurement refers to the distance from one thread to the next when threads are cut on a lathe. Different threads have different pitches and a lathe can be set to to cut to any specified pitch. This is achieved by selecting the pitch and engaging the lead screw on levers located on the headstock, then engaging the half-nut around the lead screw from the apron. With the correct threading tool inserted threads can be cut into the workpiece.

What is meant by hand wheel in lathe?
The function of the hand wheels on a lathe are to move the various carriages and the quill of a lathe by hand to its required positions.Most lathes have four hand wheels.Carriage hand wheel - For moving the saddleCross slide had wheel - For transverse movement of the tool postCompound had wheel - For moving the compound slide that can be set to an angle for taper cuttingTail stock hand wheel - To move the quill forward and backward for centering or drillingHand wheels on a lathe are connected to a screw which accommodates a nut that is attached to the above-mentioned components thus enabling movement when turned by hand.
A lead screw of a lathe with nut forms what kind of pair?
sliding pair
What is half nut mechanism?
A half nut is literally a nut split in half, length wise and makes up the basic half-nut mechanism. Such a mechanism is typically found on a engine lathe. This mechanism can be "open" or "closed" and when closed clamps onto the lead screw of said lathe. This forms a connection between the apron of the lathe sliding on the ways. The apron carries the cross and compound slides, the latter in turn holds the cutting tool. When closed, or "engaged", the movement of the apron moves relative to the rotation of the lead screw. This lead screw is precise in nature and can be described in terms of threads per inch (or per meter or millimeter in case of metric). The lead screw is also connected somehow (there are various methods) to the main motor of the lathe and this ratio of gears can be changed so that many variations of threading, all relative to the thread of the lead screw, can be accomplished on the workpiece being turned/threaded by the screw cutting operation. On a basic older style lathe, the screw begin cut can not be cut in a single pass of the cutting tool. This means that the half-nut may need to be disengaged to reverse the direction of the apron allowing for the cutting operation to be repeated, each time engaging and re-engaging the half nut, until the depth of the screw being cut has reached a final thread depth.

What is the apron on a lathe?
The apron on a lathe is suspended from the saddle. It houses a gearbox connecting the carriage hand wheel to the rack enabling longitudinal movement of the saddle. It also houses the half nut and its lever for thread cutting and power feed levers.
