Do any of you use a dremel tool with the appropriate sanding drum( small )for
filing hammers? I make a pass in each direction so the rotation of the drum is
in the direction of the crown.  With a little practice ( on junked actions ) the
results can be quite pleasing. The process takes about a half an hour, and you
need a vacuum cleaner running at the same time, kind of like the saliva sucker
at the dentists.
