List,

can anyone give me an idea for the most accurate and least costly way of trimming new keytops?  I have installed the German one peace tops and fronts sold by Pianotek and now need to perform the worse part of the job...  Filing these is a time consuming activity!  So I'm thinking the obvious thing to do is cut the tops flush with the side of the key and round off the edges and corners afterward.  I don't have a router and don't really want to get one, so how about a Dremel?  Would that work worth a darn?  Any suggestions?  I have no plans of going into the keytop business but I have two other pianos that need tops and I'm to cheap to send the work out.  The way I see it is I have the time so why not just keep that extra money I would spend to farm the work out.  Thanks as always!
