The hand die that I have is really intended for cleaning up existing threads rather than cutting new ones. I wouldn't even consider trying to cut more than one or two additional threads. It's not a difficult task so much as just very physical work. I'm thinking that you might have better luck finding somebody who has a metal lathe to cut the threads for you.
