Heat will certainly be a factor on the paint, no matter what tool you use...

Subject: [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?
