In case the thought occurred to you, DON'T USE A BELT SANDER ON THE KEY  
FRONTS! How do I know this? :-) Many many years ago when I was young and stupid  
(now being old and stupid), that's what I tried, and all it did was char the 
key  end in a flash of really ugly ash and noxious fumes.

Hi, 
In the past I had troubles with  removing old celluoid keytops (heating, 
burning) without damaging the wood of  the keys. 
As I have acces to a milling  machine I was thinking of mill the celluoid 
off. 
Han anyone experience with  this ? Or any orther way to remove those key  
tops ? 
Thanks  , 
Pierre
