'''Safety Information:''' Wear eye protection to deflect fiber debris. Ensure that sleeves are rolled up, hair is tied back, and jewelry is secure. A ventilation hose is located nearby to remove any particles which may be generated.

The light guides need to end up 168 +/- 0.5 cm long. Using the grinding wheel to polish them (begun summer 2017), it is convenient to shorten the fibers by about 0.2 inch (0.508 cm), so it would make sense to rough cut the fibers to a length of 168.5 cm.
