Modeling a thread with tapered end

I wouldn't shell the separate parts. If you look at the profile of the curved interior area the shell pushes that portion out. I would revolve the whole top part, shell that then cut the curve interior away. that guarantees a clean profile. At that point you can chamfer/fillet the edge.
On a side note, shell has a similar effect in poly modelers as well.
