Either rest the arm against the bed and turn the chuck by hand, or hold the
chuck and turn the arm.
Six or half a dozen, how you do it. Main thing is you still cut the threads
manually, as Charles said, it's just a method of holding the die inline.
As for the extra posts, even if you can delete them of the original server,
they'll probably remain on numerous other ones. I wouldn't worry about them.

I've got a dieholder which fits in a chuck, and I run that under power on M8
threads on mild steel, with a chuck in the tailstock. The student in low
gear runs at about 30-summat, ISTR rpm. It needs watching and coolant/lube
but it has a saftey feature that if you don't tighten the chuck too much it
will only transmit so much torque, and so if it jams, it spins the holder in
the chuck.
No doubt one day it'll all go bang and the die witll fall apart or something
:-)
Hmmm. that reminds me, who sells LH metric dies? I need a new M8x1.25LH,
as mine is more split than it's supposed to be. I may say that I didn't
break it.
