I hoped I'd not have to remove every hammer or even the stack. See the attached picture. I spaced the hammer shanks up with a 5 inch board, put an aluminum u channel above and clamped with rubber bands. Then I used the front round end of a small hand held belt sander and with a quickly learned technique with the sander running, allowed the sander to climb the tail to shape them to the back check. I used a very coarse belt which worked very well. It even corrected the poorly hung hammers. Tails were not in line very well. I'd even consider doing this after installing hammers rather than grinding them before installation. So, I learned something. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Carl Meyer" <cmpiano@comcast.net> > > Thanks, Joe. I agree.
