  You can also use a tap as a lathe threading tool if it’s got the tooth spacing you want, and the diameter is bigger than any of the dies you have

  Real machinists will be sad with you if you do this

  It’s a thread mill, not a tap, the grooves are horizontal. It technically is possible to cut an external thread with a tap.

    I once made worm gears using a M10x1 tap in a manual lathe.

    Well TIL, not a machinist so I’ve only ever really used taps and dies.

      I am, and I really can add anything to the conversation, so thanks for the opportunity.

        What can you add to my engine to increase the displacement?
