[CAUT] action stack protocol

[Willem Blees]

As far as a power tool to remove Baldwin dowels. I haven't tried this, but I wonder if the tool used for removing broken screws would work. (I forgot what that's called.)? Drill a prep hole in each dowel, and the use that tool with a reversible drill, and take the dowel off.

Conrad, 

There is no real let-off rail. ?the dowel "pins" are plugged into the bottom of the hammer rail, which can come off the action brackets if needed, but with wips off, I would just put it in a cradle, turn it over and work with dowels facing up. 

Is there a power tool to unscrew the dowels? ?That would be very cool indeed.

Don't those actions have the removable let-off rails? ?With their 
attachment screws accessible through the hammer flanges? Anything you do 
to them could be done out in the open and not in the stack, whether it 
is replacing felt or the entire dowel.

Or am I thinking of another action?

You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be
used against you.
