leadscrew nut re taper attachment

Not to steal the thread, it might be something you could use. On my Summit the taper attachment is either locked to the bed for cutting tapers or moves with the carriage for straight cuts. You do nothing to the cross feed, it still functions when cutting a taper. Have never looked into it , it just works. There is a rod comes off the taper attachment, an clamp grabs the bed, close the clamp and it cuts the taper, release it and the clamp slides along the bed and you cut straight.
