You might be able to rig something up like this. If not good luck / consider buying something with a finer thread. May be a hydraulic jack will be smoother?

It is not the coarseness of the threads that is the problem it is that there is too much play between the threads of the C Press and the Threaded shaft. Meaning that it does not exactly go straight.
It might be that I can do the Squeezing with my Vice. The vice Jaws are more parallel than the C Press is.
