Dear list, 

Anyone have a good way to drill pinblocks while in the piano? I have a 
couple of Steinways where the pinblock is in good shape but needs oversize 
pins. I have heard about table drill configurations where the drill can be 
mounted over the pinblock area on a sliding rail. Any ideas?

I don't know if actually "drilling" the pin block is what you want to do.
You are probably going to use 3/0 or even 4/0 pins. There is no need make
the holes any larger than they are. What you might want to do, however, is
clean the holes. I would suggest you get a .22 caliber rifle bore cleaner.
Just chuck it in a hand held drill and clean out the holes, at a slow speed.

Wim,
 
Thanks for the reply. You are right about oversize pins. I was really
thinking about drilling a new pinblock.  Any ideas.
