I'll be honest: I've been making a lot of visual/mental/speech/typing mistakes lately that make me look like I'm full of crap. Having serious communication problems. I keep joking and blaming it on lack of coffee, but I've either got something medically wrong (unlikely) or the hardcore stress I've been dealing with from work has seriously added up, and the extra daddy-tasks at home are probably contributing. I'm not getting to spend my 1-2 hrs per day in the shop and haven't been for the better part of a year now. /rant
(That said, I appreciate everyone's patience and tolerance to my foot-in-mouthing, especially [MENTION=20650]T-Mar[/MENTION], [MENTION=27118]Grand Bois[/MENTION]and others...)

I just looked again - there is no lip on the fixed cup. It's the exact same shape as the adjustable cup. In fact, they look interchangeable. Want me to take some profile shots?
