>Hello list, >I recently purchase a Sciortion Insta*Coiler and had problems with it snapping >the piano wire off at the becket.

After making the becket rotate the held part of the tool slightly conterclockwise so that the wire is bent around the pin and not bent in a "S" pattern. 2. It is possible that the toung portion is too wide. If you wish to have your final coil 1/8" from the plate and the toung is 3/16" thick the wire may break and the plate will be scarred. If there are burrs in the clot making the toung the by all means remove them. Newton nhunt@jagat.com
