But I digress,if one thinks they have enough ke to use it,then try it out.I would prefer they do some testing first but that choice is up to them.
These two points are what concern me the most. Having seen the head deployed with a piece of packing paper I don't think there would be a significant energy loss due to that aspect of the design. That ferrule on the other hand concerns me. I plan for a big cut with my KE because that is why I use mechanicals, I like having the biggest cutting diameter I can within reason.
