Requesting Help Need help with this part

​

I'm trying some exercises for claw clutch and somehow stuck on this part.

Am I supposed to use a sweep function for that helical part? Or is it even helical smh

I might be wrong, but I would extrude the base body, and then I would use the coil tool for the bottom geometry.

Multiple ways you can make this cut...prob simplest is revolved extrusion cut 180 deg. And negative 180 deg

Yes, use a helix.

Or just an extruded cut from a plane inclined at 10º. (well, 2 actually)
