Hi Bob, What Robin does in this short video would have to be a similar hand movement to what we were taught but he is taking a very light cut. I saw Robin's video regarding the level restoration when it was published. He is a talented man without a doubt. Using just the hands would take weeks to move any amount of material such as what is found on a machine sent for rebuilding. Hence the use of the hip to push the tool. What Robin says about little to no burs left is the reason we cut using the "comma shape" cuts. Hard to explain but it is a combination of pushing forward with the hip and adding pressure with the forward hand then backing off the pressure and rolling the blade a bit as the cut is completed. Wish I could make a video but just too many back operations to make that a practical thing. (I'm fused with screws rods and what looks like Toyota parts from L3 to the pelvis, LOL) Lifting and twisting are things not on the allowed activity list)
