[pianotech] Pin removal speed

[Rob McCall]

Ed,

Thank you for the reply.

I have a DeWalt 10amp 1/2" drill that'll go from 0-1200 rpm in a heartbeat. Fast would obviously be quicker. I just want to make sure there aren't any unforeseen pitfalls.  I figure my drill will pull each pin out in under 2 seconds. That's my preferred method.

Regards,

Rob
