Bushmaster ?

Pianotech list,  Years back I purchased a Bushmaster from the inventor  His name is Peter Gray of the NH Chapter at that time. The Bush Master is a hand held tool that Precisely fits bushing cloth into the mortise after it has been sized and glue applied ,  It is Spring loaded with a cutting knife in the inside of the Brass Tube, It has a plunger which, after you insert the busing cloth to proper depth, also glued on both sides of the mortise, Pressing the plunger cuts the cloth, which then a heated brass Gaul is applied in the mortise  for drying, It works very well and can complete sets of key fronts or balance rails in short order, I still use this system, and like it very much,
