I couldn't wait till tomorrow to cut the internal threads 
I'm only a couple hours past my usual bedtime so not a huge deal 
It was a pretty exciting operation as I didn't leave myself much room to stop the cut. Took me an hour of intense concentration but the fit is pretty tight with no noticeable slop once I get a few threads engaged. The chuck butts up against the back of the spindle nicely which is where the accuracy comes from anyways, if I understand correctly?
