Hello chaps,what a dimo I am,I had it right all along,what I was expecting was a long extended pitch,like a single strip of seven and a half inches,instead it was cutting around for the length of that 71/2",just like a normal twist, if that makes sense,I want to make an elongated twist with just two bines so the pitch I need is in the 2xgears.which I will buy in the new year,to near Xmas.now,thanks for your postings,keep chippin,MAC.
