<html> <body> Japanese pull saw.   from bill Spurlock. Regards Roger At 11:57 AM 2/19/2004, you wrote: <blockquote type=cite class=cite cite>I used to saw off the ends of shanks with a Dremel saw. But Dremel discontinued making them. (I guess too many people trying to stop the saw with their fingers, and suing Dremel because it cut off their fingers.)   For a while I was taking the hammers and shanks off, and trimming the tails with a band saw. But lately I've been using a Heavy Duty Cutt-Off Wheel, no. 420 from Dremel. I just did a set,  and it worked OK, except that it burns the wood, which creates a bad smell, and I used 6 wheels.   Does anyone else have a way to trim the tails, other than using a band saw?   Wim Willem Blees, RPT Piano tuner/technician School of Music University of Alabama</blockquote></body> </html>
