The pressure is on the disk sitting on the foot.
This arrangement seems to work very well, and there is no risk of threads stripping or spoiling the wood.
But this arrangement never seems to be mentioned anywhere; most adjusters discussed appear to be in one piece and have threads that move in the wood itself. Which seems to be a weak point. to me.

It's probably the model that Teller (German bridge maker company) sells. There might be no risk of threads stripping or spoiling the wood, but destroying the thread in the disc (happend to me).
