Hi Ken,
Yeah, you're right I could just have disengaged the half nuts, just a habit of leaving them engaged I suppose
I just wanted a "fine'ish" thread that one was closest to hand, and really just needs to screw on. I put a register on but really wasn't needed because I "trued" it all up on the lathe when the two parts were screwed together.
That particular die is a split one and I had just been using it so I knew it would screw okay into the taped hole.
