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.

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.
