Subject: Re: Lead I've been wondering whether it's necessary to melt and re-cast the lead weights in order to re-use them. How about pressing them through a die to clean the surface and correctly size the old weights? I have such a die, originally marketed for sizing dowels (which generally arrive oval and oversize). Anybody try this yet, or do I need to do it and report back? Mike Key leads are tapered. The smaller end is swedged to lock the lead in the key. A cylindrical lead would require swedging both sides. Has anyone seen/used cylindrical leads? If so, how do you secure them in the key? Paul C
