[QUOTE=Brian Dudley;243665]I personally prefer working strictly by hand as that is what i have gotten used to. But i know i will want to go power in the future for the sake of my hands.

I'm a bit surprised that you as a professional would use hand tools only. But I'm guessing that you can do jobs a lot quicker than I can.

That MMX tool brought cut checkering back on some factory guns. They went to pressed checkering because they couldn't recover the cost of hand checkering. Then the MMX tool came out and firms like Ruger used it on their factory guns. The cut checking done by manufactures is pretty decent.
