(Good quality) dies are split and adjustable. Cut female thread first then cut male thread with split die, adjusting gradually until fit is correct.


Tightening the middle screw forces the die to spread and increases the diameter of the thread for the first pass. Loosening the middle screw and tightening the outer ones reduces the thread diameter for second and additional passes.
