I have not handled Kikel cues so I am not sure if it is a common choice on these cues.
Square threads are considered very precision as far as threads go.

Looks like someone tried to leverage a power transmission (Acme) thread.

That's because Mr. Scruggs used a Joint screw modified to thread the shafts instead of using the 2 piece tap set for acme threads..

Kikel used a special 3/8-10 ACME pin 25+ years ago for a limited time
