I always take a "dry run" pass whenever I make any changes to the set-up. I go through the motions of a thread cutting pass but with the tool almost touching the crest dia.
Of course all that to admit that I learned to do that procedure exactly the same way you just did.
Hard learned lessons are well remembered.
