great! I got one in 1/4" diameter for about $25, and it will do any size
above about 3/8" ID. It is a lot slower that threading on the lathe, but
there are things you just CAN'T put in the lathe, or get properly aligned.
It makes BEAUTIFUL threads, even in difficult materials, far better than
you might get single-point threading on the lathe.
