Phil Wood and Kowa spoke machines cut 10mm of threads - and in your case 12mm nipples and 14mm nipples would have worked.

However you mentioned use of DT Swiss spoke machine? With 9mm threads? 12mm nipples might take up the slack and stop at the top - but don't think 14mm nipples will work.

Good Luck!
