[pianotech] Journal Article

[Fenton Murray]

More dittos Ron. I've long had the zact same drill press and so set it up in 
similar fashion after meeting you and seeing your set up in KC a few years 
back.
I cut lots of plugs ( 3 blocks worth ) with a cheap Chinese cutter that I've 
yet needed to replace or sharpen. The secret seems to be to cut the plugs 
near the edge of your stock so the cutter stays cools and throws off the 
chips out the side.
See photo.
