[pianotech] Pin removal speed

Fast.  It's faster!  Cooler too, also easier on your drill probably.  You
should deglaze the hole when you're done anyway.

Greetings,

What's the consensus on the speed at which to remove tuning pins from an
otherwise good pinblock?

I've read to go slow as to not heat up or burnish the hole, and I've read
someone on here recently who recommended the exact opposite, namely to go
fast so as to not build up excessive heat.

So which do you use?  Why? Are your results consistent?

Thanks,

Rob McCall
