Hi all, This post has been a while coming. Before Reno, when bridge pin hole drilling was under discussion, several of you emailed me requesting an image of the drill stop we use when drilling the bridges. I finally got around to doing the scan tonight. The image shows the bridge for our piano 003 being drilled. We drill and notch the bridges before attaching them to the sound board, and before both are fitted into the case. http://www.overspianos.com.au/dlst.jpeg These stops are easy to turn up. We make one for each size of drill (to avoid run-out problems). Notice also that the contact face of the stop is chamfered to 20 degrees, ie. to the same angle of the bridge pin inclination. This minimises the likelyhood of damaging the bridge cap as the stop contacts the bridge.
