When I made the new screw for my compound I used the cross slide - couldn't use the compound, there was no screw! It came out perfect anyway.
I watched a Tubal Cain video on cutting an acme thread. He shows how to grind the tool and he used the compound to do it. It was actually a lot easier than I expected (expected = read people on forums saying how hard it was).
