Helix thread

[drawingsCHR7R]

Hi guys,

I'm looking for some suggestions as to what a good workflow would be to get a helix around this ground screw so that it can act as a large thread, my issue is I am not sure how to get the helix to follow the profile of the body that it has to go around.

Thanks guys.

Do you have an image of a similar real-world part (is the screw tapered to a point or is it constant radius OD)?

Something like this?

Hi JD,

It has a taper. Here are a few pics of the model I am using.
