The pillar thread is fairly coarse, and on some pillars the thread is tapered. But if you have a matching tap and die with the same coarse thread then this'll be ideal - you want a bottom tap (with a squared off tip) for cutting the thread in the joint, not a tapered one.

The inset pillar is left with parallel sides, then what's left protruding is cut off and filed to shape once it's screwed securely in place. I've seen on some Yamaha clarinets they have a slot in the top of the inset pillar so it can be removed easily which is a good idea - by removing one of these you can see just how deep to drill the new hole (to prevent going through to the bore) and the length of the threaded part of the inset pillar.
