[CAUT] Reaming block?

[Alan McCoy]

Hi Folks (at least those of you still out there),

I'm about to repin a not-too-old pinblock. It had 2/0 pins and I'm gonna use
LoTorq 3/0 pins. The block felt fine. I'm restringing because of other
issues with this piano - wildly mismatched bass strings, false beats and
such. I'd like to find out how other folks treat the block before
re-pinning. Anyone ream? With what type of bit?

I have tried reaming with a double-fluted reamer in the past but didn't like
the results. Too inconsistent. I've also just done nothing to the block,
with good results.

Your thoughts would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Alan
