plate

[Michiel van Loon]

Peter,
First of all, if I were you, I wouldn't do it. Not because I don't dare to
do it but because I've better things to do.
But if I would .....:
Drill +ALE- 3mm holes close to each other along the line where you want to
remove metal.
Take a metalsaw blade and saw the piece of metal loose.
Reshape the edge with a circular grinder, use the right disk (ask the man
who sells them).

+AD4-Hello,
+AD4-
+AD4-I'm +ACI-truying+ACI- to rebuild an old (ugly) german piano to a (less or more)
+AD4-decent one.  Lets say  I do it  as an exercise.
+AD4-For this, I've rescaled the old stringscale but I've also to make a totally
+AD4-new bridge because the program (+AD0-Parsons) showed strings that are about 30
+AD4-mm to long (and this means inharmonicity is very bad). I also have to
remove
+AD4-some metal from the plate: the new bridge comes about where two screws now
+AD4-fasten the plate.  There is place to make new screw-holes 25 mm higher but
+AD4-what is the most easy way to remove about 25 mm of metal without to much
+AD4-damaging  the plate.   The screw-holes are for the moment left and right
+AD4-from the treble bar from the plate.  Thanks a lot for your help.
+AD4-
