Pulley keys

[Newton Hunt]

What is ZAB5?  A new hair cream or a new desease virus?

In answer to the poised question, yes there is a new procedure for correcting
keys with enlarged balance pin holes, and it does not come from APSCo.

Ralph Onesti has taken the old insert idea and created a new system.  It is
composed of perhaps 15 sizes of guide pins, a cutter for the key and a cutter
to make inserts of any wood you wish.  The guide pins are inserted into the key
until the proper fit is found, the keys are marked and sorted according to the
size fo the hole.  The drill press is set up with the cutter and a guide pin
for the size of hole in a group of keys.  The guide pin perfectly centers the
key and the cutter cuts out material to accomdate the new insert.

The cost of the system is $400.00.  I have a set on order.
