    Hello David, I agree with Don as far as cabbing is concerned although
    dop sticks are definitely required if your wrists are painful. I am
    a commercial cutter and spend most of my days with a faceting
    machine.  I suffered quite badly from a mouse attack that left me
    with bursitis and CTS which although diagnosed as mild, from my side
    it was really really painful. It didn't affect my ability to facet
    as the pain only occurred with extreme movement or effort.  It's
    impossible to work up a sweat faceting.  The mouse died painfully
    and horribly from a terrible bludgeoning that I administered
    repeatedly with a large hammer, it has been replaced by a 3 button 2
    wheel trackball and no pain. 

H.T.H.
Tony.
