[CAUT] Grinding plate counter-bearing

[Paul T Williams]

I may be illogical, but couldn't you file down the bottom of the half 
round somehow?

[CAUT] Grinding plate counter-bearing



Hi all,
 
I have a little project I need to work on, and thought I would ask for 
some advice.  I need to grind the treble counter-bearings off of the plate 
of a piano in a customer’s home.  I am hoping someone here has a good 
suggestion for which tool works best to give a clean removal that stays 
relatively flat.  I would like to avoid screwing up the plate finish 
nearby, and leave a flat surface that I can put a half-round on.
 
With the tuning pins staying in place, I’m thinking a flat grinding wheel 
might not fit in there.  I can use a Dremel, but am worried it will be 
very hard to get it smooth and level.
 
Keeping in mind the need to do it in the home, any suggestions?  Dremel 
with a specific tip, maybe?
