Know what you mean about not being able to get digits into small places.

First assignment at P&WC, they started me off in Deburr-deburring and blending the sharp edges left after the machining centres had shaped the parts. After a week and a half, powers that be decided to ship me to "Arts and Crafts" (Paint Shop), because I couldn't get the burrs down in the real small holes, because of my large pinkies.

Sorry I don't have a nice table to display it on - I wanted to use the wife's new kitchen counter cabinet - NOT!!!!!

Bruce

two other guys involved - Todd suggested I build up the back plate with balsa, the Cool improved on that idea with a metal plate - all i had to do was go to Metal-R-Us and buy a piece of stock (most of which is in a bucket in Cool's shop)
