Cost be dammed. Just the fact of what you have accomplished makes it worth every penny. I am seriously into woodworking, and you should be so proud of what you have done. Great job.

How did you remove the scoring mechanisms on the GC3?

How did you remove the scoring mechanisms on the GC3?

There are spring steel fingers which jam the counter either side of the counters, you simply push them back and work the rail out.
