[CAUT] Grinding plate counter-bearing

[Brent Fischer]

Hey Joel,
     You can see the products on the website, "Zip Wall."  Used in the construction industry for isolating dirt and dust. Great applicationfor cleaning out pianos with compressed air or for the current plate rehabprocess being discussed.

Brent, Curious.  Will you describe a 'zip wall' dust control system?     Sounds like a useable system, but I haveno idea what it looks like, where to buy the material, etc. etc. 
Tidy is the magic word.   Especially if there is a bonusattached.   :-)

Don,
    I've used a small air grinder for better clearance with an equally smallair nailer compressor along with a zip wall dust control system and yourcustomer will you give the tidy bonus.  It's been a very long time sincea caut email has showed up on my pc. What's up?

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?
