Ah, that's an idea, start single point, finish with die... thank
you very much!!! Yes, I use tapmagic, and I did not use the waterpipe
extension on the chuck key, figured it I could not hold it using my
hands on teh chuck key something was wrong!
If you really want to thread that drill rod with a die, get a 4-jaw
(independent) chuck. You can get those jaws much tighter than with
a 3-jaw. Without damaging the chuck, too. ;-)
For some good information on single-point threading, see:

You will probably need to cut and paste that onto one line, or just
go to:
and get the only file there. It helped me learn to cut threads.
