Hig-Bee or blunt start the threads.

Using thread cycle with grooving tool with the width as wide or wider
thread pitch.

Program as threads program with:
1- The end of hig-bee is about 1/2 turn from where thread begin.
2- Start of hig-bee is real trick, adjust starting point of program to have
front end of grooving tool matching thread root point.
3- The faster the rapid of tool to get out at the end of thread is the
better.

Just look at the end of threads gage, it should look similar.

Thats a good solution. I rarely need to do it, but in the past have but used live tooling in those cases.
