  1. Nice Descriptions and photos Ricardo. However, remember it is easier to do great work with 10 fingers. The SOP prior to starting machine work is to take the wedding ring and other jewellery off.
    It's great to put it back on at the end of the day's work and start looking forward to what's waiting at home.
