Ken,

When I looked into buying one of these, I discovered that the small
press will do the job, but the adapter that come with it--or any other
basic set--won't. You could probably use a mill or grinder to modify
for what you need. Most folks go to their FLAPS and rent the extended
set of adapters that has what you need.
