drill for pin removal

[pianolover 88]

I also would like to get opinions as to how fast, slow to remove them to 
avoid over-heating and/or scortching the pin block. I know the pins WILL get 
hot no matter what, (I tested this by using the very lowest rpm possible 
without stalling) but it seems to me that the main thing to avoid is 
"spinning" the pin in place when/if it stops rising outward during removal. 
I try to use lowest rpms to remove each pin, then releasing trigger when 
it's almost out, letting the drill slow to a stop at which point the pin 
drops out...ideally. thoughts?

-0500</i><br><br>&gt;Yeah, but only after the piano case has rotated a 
quarter turn and <br>&gt;crashed into the wall. Best hang a few old tires on 
the side of the <br>&gt;case (like on a tug boat) before 
starting....<br>&gt;<br>&gt;Terry Farrell<br><br><br>Good idea, and resist 
the urge to strap yourself to the drill for a better grip. That's the stuff
