Meh. No shiny cameras here I'm afraid. The ratchet pads are now .010" under size in height since I had to cut out the chatter marks from the other end mill. You can still see small ghost areas on some of them because I wanted to trim off as little as necessary to get them 'flat'. There are a few 'witness marks' that remain but the press won't care. Ten thou won't make a bit of difference to the press handle or ratchet pawl. It's like a honey badger....
I think the difference in material strength will more than make up for the slightly smaller dimensions of the teeth/pads.
It's just the principal of the thing - you know?
But as I said before.... I NEED the practice! Obviously.
