LOL!, I thought about this as well!! but I saw some that do from 30 to 200 ... which, is close enough for some smaller jobs ... but then its prob back to the T, VT and VFT as Mark I think mentioned!
:lol: Just becareful you dont get your 'T' and 'VFT for that type of thread' mixed up and ruin lots of threads/have wheels and allsorts coming of mid drive :shock:
