Takes = me a couple of hours to do it by hand; and, it's not that hard. ----- Original Message ----- From: Phil Bondi To: Pianotech Sent: Thursday, September 08, 2005 4:19 PM Subject: Re: Removing tuning pins with the Milwaukee Drill Ross White wrote: > If you spin tuning pins out, you're going to scorch the holes in the = > block. You don't want that. Ross, can you offer more explanation on this? The reason I ask is because I just got done 'spinning' , with a hi torque-lo RPM Milwaukee = drill, the treble section of a 100 year old S&S 0, and the pins were warm to the touch..not hot. I don't know for sure, but my gut tells me that I did not scorch the holes. I would be interested to hear more about your personal experienc= e with this..or from anyone else for that matter since I have the rest of= the block to do yet. -Phil Bondi(Fl) _______________________________________________ pianotech list info: https://www.moypiano.com/resources/#archives ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
