Groove around cylinder but not on plane

Groove around cylinder but not on plane

(OP)
Newbie here.

Tried relentlessly yesterday to make a groove at an angle around a cylinder like the extruded in the attachment.  I can see where the contact point of a ball end groove will need to change as it orbits around the cylinder.  I'm just playing with this to see if it can be done.

Thanks for the advice.

Exactly what I was looking for.  I will try recreating that on my own and see how it turns out.  I will post my result.

Thanks Cowski
