I like the wheel end option on the Hot Rod truss rods from StewMac and have used them. On the other hand, the fattest truss rod in the business is the same thing and I've had issues with the depth required for the truss rod when carving necks. Not enough meat behind the brass block at the 1st fret. One can actually feel the depression being caused by the truss rod when pushing back. I've switched to the Allied Lutherie truss rods which Mark Blanchard designed.

What we really need is for someone to design a pinwheel (like on the Hot Rod) which has a hex stub on the other end. Then one can stick that on any truss rod and get body side adjustments.

my necks are 22mm (fingerboard included) at the first fret so there is plenty meat....

But I see what you mean, especially when you want to carve thinner necks, it then becomes a problem...

LMII actually offers spoke nuts on their double way truss rod which is thinner then the stewmac rod but they only do that on order, you must contact Chris for that...

On the other side, the stewmac rod is perfect because the threads are inserted inside the brass, there is no welding which makes them extremely tough and durable... [:Y:]

wow. thanks for the detailed and informative response patrick. I am looking at a threaded insert/machine screw solution for my current project. I like the idea of counter sunk ferrules.
