Mike, 
  No.  When the whites bottom out on the black FR punchings, they have not made it to the 3/8 dip.  I usually set the whites dip first and do the blacks.  After the blacks are set  the whites will no longer dip all the way down. I'm sure from some of the other post that this is probably a problem stemming from not setting key hight in the piano.  I am scuedaled to be in the ladys house tomorrow and I can already tell it's going to be a long day.

  Jeff,

Please clarify: When the whites bottom out on the black FR punchings, 
have they dipped 3/8, or are they bottoming before reaching 3/8? I 
don't understand which problem, or both, you are experiencing:
a) Whites bottom out on black FR before reaching full dip,
or
b) Full 3/8 dip is not sufficient to get let-off and aftertouch.
(I used 3/8" in the above problem statements, but as others have 
pointed out, you should probably be using 10mm, or .394", which will 
give you and additional .019" to play with)

Mike
