>   I've never found any use for the darned thing till today.  I was 
>staring at the rib notches of an S&S B before installing the board & 
>thinking I have to clean those a bit more. I dislike this part of 
>belly work.  Scraping & steaming etc. I was thinking quick fix.  So 
>I whipped out the roto zip with  the spiral blade thingees & router 
>like end & using it in a flat configuration was able to clean & 
>rough up the notches a bit in about 5 minutes. I just layed the 
>length of the blade in to the notch & & presto chango it was done!
>   Also I'm always cleaning the slots of music desk guides to fit the 
>new glides after a string /belly job on a Steinway. I usually use a 
>thinned out chisel with moderate success & nashing of teeth but this 
>little hummer cleaned it up pretty well in short order & was very 
>controllable.
>   ANy others have a use for this tool?
