Feed screw question for Presto 6n

I have been cutting CDS on a Presto 6n and have been getting really good sound out of it but i can only fit about 20 seconds or so of music until it gets to the end of the screw.
I dont know the size of the feedscrew but i have a question.
Is there a Feed screw that can cut all the way to the center of the turntable???

none of the ones I have do. You maybe able to get a machine shop to make one for you, and one for me. :)

Hi:

I researched this a little myself. If you cut in further the cutting head comes up against the carriage drive disc at the center and raises the head off the record. I got a couple additional leadscrews and can cut at 112Lpi, 136Lpi, 224Lpi. You can get more time in the same amount of space this way if that is what you need?
