key bushings

[Alan R. Barnard]

I use Spurlock's also: For me the fold makes trimming easier and leaves a
neater, less-likely-to-be-gluey edge. Also, trimming flush tops tends to
pull the felt out of position, for me. Also, with the fold you are cutting
with the key button under the felt which doesn't seem to cut the wood too
much ... but with a flush cut you are slicing into the caul--and those
little devils don't come cheap! That's my $.02
