It cuts the felt fine. So I guess if I wanted to thin the whole hammer I would have to screw in my adjustment screw so the hammer woiuld lie flat and then I could just run it through.MarcelFrom: ed440 at mindspring.comTo: pianotech at ptg.orgDate: Sat, 24 Jan 2009 16:59:00 -0500Subject: Re: [pianotech] Hammer tapering jig Marcel- I like it! What if I wanted to thin the entire hammer? How well does it cut the felt? Ed S. ----- Original Message ----- From: Marcel Carey To: Pianotech List Sent: Saturday, January 24, 2009 4:48 PM Subject: [pianotech] Hammer tapering jig I've had a Spurlock tapering jig that I never used because I don't like working with the bench saw that much. I thought of using the Wagner Safe-T-Planer. So I made a simple crude prototype of a jig. I tried it and it works very nicely. It is simple, less noisy than the saw and I fear it less. Here are some pictures. I don't know if a lot of you have this tool, but I find it very usefull.Marcel _________________________________________________________________ -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
