[pianotech] bridge notching machines - search-able title

[David Love]

That's helpful.  And how does the indexing work?  Is it an eyeball thing or
do you have some more precise method.  I recall seeing the notcher at the
Charles Walter factory and it somehow (don't recall now) indexed off of an
adjacent bridge pin hole, though my memory is a bit fuzzy.  Might be worth a
trip to KC just for this.

Maybe next time I use it. Meanwhile, here's another photo with labels. 
The table lifts pneumatically to clamp the bridge to the stationary hold
down, and the cutter (mounted on a carriage on linear bearings) is pulled
onto the bridge.

I plan on taking it to KC next year, with a bunch of other strange stuff for
a "Tools You Might Not Know You Want" class.
