For them there infernal threads, I just machine a groove around the bottom 
end  of the hole that is to be internally threaded.  When the tool cuts into 
the open space, you can hear it stop removing metal and so you jerk the half 
nut out of engagement.  Of course you can't let your mind wander very far 
away from the job while employing this method!!
