Set of eight straight reamers, page D-15 in the Pianotek catalog.

 

I currently have the Mannino broach kit from Schaff, but often get
inconsistent results. Mostly what happens is one bushing ends up looser than
the other. 

 

How do the broaches differ from the straight reamers in consistency? Any
other benefits of the straight reamers that you like? 

 

While we're on the subject, how do the Pianotek reamers compare to using
roughened center pins, a la Steve Brady's book, "A Piano Technician's Guide
to Field Repairs"?

 

I don't mind ordering the straight reamers, but I'm "tool poor" as it is. If
roughened center pins will work just as well, I'd rather save the $139.00.

 

Thanks,

 

John Formsma
