I just got my Die holder from LMS and my tap and dies from Hf, and there seems to be some play when I put the die in the holder, is this normal? It seems that when I think that I have the sections threaded correctly and screw them together something is off and doesn't spin true. I have a rikon midi where the tailstock does have some sid to side play so getting centers to line up is a bit time consuming but is possible. I am new to threading so it has been alot of one step forward two steps back which has been fun but also frustrating. I need some help figuring this out.
