Hard steel shank on hard steel jaws with limited contact area isn't exceptionally secure.
Net result is that the first thread is still a touch tight when the rest of the nut is fine. Obviously some reported successes on the net now. Screws invariably wear unevenly so making a nut to fita whole screw with minimal backlash isn't really possible. send a request to info@internaltool.com. You could also think about turning a long tap with a long taper from silver steel and use that to finish a roughed out screw cut thread.

Undersize threads can occur with ring series tap sets for tapping hard material if you don't use all taps in the set but I think one described as a second tap would not be a ring series tap.
Most certainly no backlash!. Noel. It is precision ground for maximum concentricity and meets the standards of MIL-SPEC 8879 and AS8879.
Maybe get get creative with the drill press to help push. Go slow, the tool only removes the same amount of material if you are going at 1 RPM or 1000 RPM so the slower the better in my book.

I ground the tool from a solid piece of HSS by hand by relieving thd stem first then grinding the cutter to give bottom clearance.
as this one is sloppy. The new sizes and lengths join the recent expansion of SPTM tools including the EXJ (External UNJ). But a bit of taper on the sides wouldn't hurt. Although the thread I cut was a square thread I don't see why you couldn't cut an Acme thread just the same as you can make the tool slightly under size and using the compound slide machining the flanks til the thread Fitts. If it is too sloppy I mayfollow the suggestion of turning a new screw. 2.
I always cut internal threads on the rear face of the bore with the tool inverted because you can see what is happening to a certain extent and you withdraw the cross-slide at the end of the cut as if cutting an external thread but this is not so important with a left-hander as the tool will be moving outwards anyway.

This year I had the job to make some jack screws for a hundred year old showmans caravan they were 3/4 by 4 tpi square ,I advised the owner to use 3/4 by 5 tpi acme as a tap was available and to copy the original exactly would have been too expensive, steel screw (en8) threading was ok it was the nut that proved difficult,5tpi really needs some power to tap, so some brass hex was aquired for the nut bored out and screwcut with a v tool then the tap was held in a cross slide bolt on attachment with an ER collet which was really tight, the hex bar could not slip in the 3 jaw.and in very slow speed with a lot of pressure on the saddle hand wheel the tap was pushed into the brass bore,and it tapped ok,if the pressure on the handwheel is relaxed the flanks on tap will cut like a boring tool, I did not fancy using leadscrew set to 5 tpi,to control the pitch, its easier to spoil the job rather than risk the lathe on commercial work.to finish the job I turned the hex to fit its housing if I had the Clarkson job now I would buy a tap ,rough out with a v tool, shape is not critical, hold the work in a 4 jaw chuck for extra grip and hold the tap in the toolpost,I do not advise holding the tap in the tailstock, it can spoil the lathes accuracy.
