My break does not have a way to add fingers. Too bad. I have needed a finger break many times. It is bad to be good looking but poor(grin).

Ohh...darn. I need to work on this idea...but the concept isn't clear. I understand the idea of needing clearance...what I'm not sure of is how the stepped finger helps. More thinking required.
