Hi Karen If there is a problem with getting the action regulation good because the height difference then you have a nice problem in front of you. You cant add or subtract washers because then you will alter the alignment of the agraffe when tight. Milling the underside of the agraffe would essentially do the same thing... tho you could do this AND subtract washers to get your result. Milling the plate itself would work I suppose, but any milling to do this would be really fun to achieve a perfect result with. You could always replace agraffes as part of a restringing job... have enough new agraffes on hand so that you can choose which ones align when tight and are at the same time at a more uniform height. Cheers RicB Willem, I understand the usage of washers for aligning agraffes perpendicular to the the strings; in this case there are visible differences in heights. I'm thinking of removing some of the washers and adding to others so the heights are within a few thousandths of an inch. Karen
