This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Joe, The angle results from the contour of the 'anvil' or shaped part of the = tool which forms the bend. Granted, you have to experiment with how to hold = your hand to reproduce the bend consistently and accurately. But it works. Since I don't use the other, I can't say whether they form the same = angle. =20 =20 jeannie =20 Jeannie Grassi, RPT Associate Editor, Piano Technicians Journal <mailto:jcgrassi@earthlink.net> mailto:jcgrassi@earthlink.net -----Original Message----- From: pianotech-bounces@ptg.org [mailto:pianotech-bounces@ptg.org] On = Behalf Of Joe Garrett Sent: Sunday, November 14, 2004 9:51 AM To: pianotech Subject: Re: About Checking =20 Jeannie said: "Joe, Wow!!! I can't believe that there is a tool that you don't know =3D about!!! Now I'm REALLY worried about the security of our country. <G> =3D20 It is in my Renner USA catalog as Check Bending Pliers #1602 on =3D page3-11. I bought it at a Convention. The tool looks exactly like the typical backcheck wire bending pliers that Schaff sells...cat.#5502, page 50 or Pianotek's # BPL-1F on page D23, but they machined it, upon Richard Davenport's urging, to bend the wire at the 70 degree angle. =3D20 =3D20 Wow!!! I can't believe that there is a tool that you don't know =3D about!!! (I'm still shaking my head.....;>) ) jeannie, I have one of those. Where is the "built in 70-72 degree angle"? It's = just a wire bender! There is no "gauge", if you will, that I can perceive. Clarification would be nice. As for the "security of our country" = thingee, I'll let that one drop, lest I be censored.<G> Best Regards, =20 Joe Garrett, R.P.T.
