PR-J and list,

Sounds like a similar technique you have there. I'm sorry I can't 
answer your question since I have never seen any other agraffe cutter 
apart from the one I designed here back around 94-95, which was the 
drawing inserted in the post.

I'd be interested to see Chris Robinson's design if anybody out there 
has an image. It's amazing how often the same problem gets similar 
answers. Does Pianotek have a web site, and if so, could someone send 
me the url?

Thanks in advance.
