The normal length of tapered thread on a 1" pipe is about 1" long. If you keep threading farther,all thread will be NPS (1"-14NP),except the innermost 1" or so.
I do this with alum. pipe for ant. mounts,but you could use SS pipe.
Another method is buy a 1"-14thd NF bolt & cut to length you want.

Hi Len, thanks for the tips. I am just really surprised that the local shop doing the fabrication of adding an additional branch to my
radar mast does not have the die to create a straight thread on a short section of pipe. I then started calling the various West
Marine Stores (worse than useless and their new call holding
music makes me want to go postal) and a few other marine supply stores in
San Diego and got no where. It is getting bad trying to find
boat hardware,
parts and
gear and even worse trying to find store staff that have a clue.
