[3dem] tweezers for vitobot

[Bob Grassucci]

Hi Isabelle,
We brought a couple of unmounted tweezers to the machine shop and ground 
them to fit the mount.  If you remove the old (I assume bent) tweezers 
with you and the mount any competent machinist should be able to get it 
to fit.  Even cheaper (if you are adventurous) is to buy a Dremel tool 
with the appropriate bits and do it yourself.
