How do You Guys go about setting up & indicating a Die blank for reaming with a full length sizeing reamer?
TURN AND THREAD a short pc of stock..thread the die body in, and bore/ream based on the threads being true, not the center hole in the blank.

Think I know what you mean, but ... can you give me an example of something that might go in a chuck, but doesn't have an "existing surface"?The only things I chuck "straight" into a chuck is drill bits or stuff with no existing bores or surfaces.

Yeahhh this types really good but in real life, like HUHHH???
And then how do you do the recess for the button?

On a more serious note, and while I don't do it, how about using a 3-jaw with soft jaws & a truing cut? The reamer is gong to follow the hole. And with a die, that hole's likely going to be straight...
i don't know al, i was looking simply at getting the threaded blank in the lathe straight and square, so when in the press it was the same......
i'm never done a die blank....
he did not say button or bushing.....
why do a custom die and use a button ??
