Bill,

Actually, you only need to take off about .030" on average to equal the =
ivory thickness.  In fact, you can take off less, get a cleaner cut, go =
faster, and still not run into regulation problems (maybe about .020").  =
The only thing you have to watch out for is not leaving so much of an =
overall key thickness that you have to start messing with the nameboard =
strip/ fallboard height.  You CAN run into regulation problems if you =
take off too much (voice of experience speaking).

Chris,

<<<Don't you want to achieve the same overall height as with original =

That could mean removal of .040-.050" of wood if the original was ivory. =

different dimension then the original and you run into regulation =
problems.
