8 mm cane broke yesterday, so I have to use the 10 mm cane now. I've set the machine to strengh ten and that seemed to be okay for me. I would have liked to continue beyond the twelve dozen, but when I had a look at the camera I noticed that the batteries were running low. I wanted to avoid a sudden end of the clip so I stopped the caning for today. Ten millimeter cane, machine at strength ten.
