Comment from e bayer who made one , I made one of these per your info. It worked fine on a 16 size pocket watch back cover. However it didn't work as well on the case itself..

One problem is that sometimes the 4-40 screws bottom before the tap. I suggest replacing them with unthreaded plastic posts.

Don't know if that will help but I will try that next. When using on the case body threads The tap and the 4-40 screws don't fit between the threads and the stem holder. I plan to grind off one of the three legs of the tap so it will fit between the case body threads and either replace the 4-40 screws with unthreaded posts or grind one side of the screws so they will pass between the case threads and the stem.

Another thing is the quality of the case opener. There is a lot of slop in the bit holders. The 4-40 tap should be in the bit holder closest to the handle. That one has the least slop especially in the in/out direction.

Also the 2 plates of the case opener are held apart by 4 spacers. If you shorten the spacers for a tighter fit, that will reduce the slop. If the tap leans away from the threads that will cause it to remove more material from the top threads and less from the threads near the bottom. This could be why you couldn't screw the case back all the way down. Keeping the tap more vertical will help that. Also in the past when I had a case back or bezel that was tight or felt rough I put a bit of Wenol or polishing paste on the case threads and then put the case back or bezel back on. Then as I watched TV I would screw them together and twist them back and for through the range of the fit until it felt smooth. This method removes material where there is interference.
