[pianotech] bridge pin drill speeds

[Encore Pianos]

Who makes it, and where did you buy that special tape to hold it on your
jig?

Thanks, Ron

Beats me. I built this little bridge drill with the B&D motor because it had
the highest rated amperage I could find. This gives it enough torque to
drill for even #9 pins in the laminated cap at a low enough speed to not
smoke the hole. I like it a whole lot.
