agraffe/agraffe shaving jig?

[Isaac Sadigursky]

Hi,Dave!  You can invest in Machinist’s Mill,Pianotech has them in their
Catalog. I will tell you CD trick {Cheap and dirty}:Take Hammer Sanding
File,drill ¼” hole.Drop the agraffe in it and start making turns left and
right,applying some pressure  on the Agraffe and watch buttom of the agraffe
getting smaller.The Machinist mill works a lot faster,it has sharper
teeth,but sandpaper on a paddle will do the trick.  I had learned that trick
while teaching the agraffe class 20 years ago,being so proud of Machinist
Mill and then a real old-timer from Massachussets shared with me that
inexpensive trick after the class I tried it,it woyks!!
 Hope it helps..
Good Luck!!   Isaac Sadigursky,RPT  Los Angeles chapter

Subject: agraffe/agraffe shaving jig?

 

 Hi all,

 

I replaced a broken agraffe on a Sohmer 57 grand that's 31 years old, but
the shoulder is too high, which leaves the strings too high as well.  It
works, more or less, but it sounds kind of buzzy at the moment.  I want to
get the job done correctly.

 

The shoulder on the stock Schaff agraffes is 1/8" thick, I believe, and what
I need is closer to 1/16".  If anybody has 1/4" agraffes with a 1/16"
shoulder, I'll gladly purchase them.  I need one for a bicord.

 

IN the absence of that, does anyone have a way of shaving down the shoulders
for a better fit?  And would this affect the its ability to thread into the
plate?  Former chapter member Carl Meyer, rest his soul, almost certainly
had just the device (and advice) I need...

 

Thanks,

 

Dave Stahl
