Randy Potter`s folks sell an "Omni Jig" which is for use with the router =
for key resurfacing.

    Hi all,
    =20
    I've been interested in starting to do my own key recovering again.  =
Years ago, I recovered a number of sets with tops only, sometimes with =
separate fronts, but never the one piece kind.  I glued them on with =
Duco cement and sanded down the sides with a 1" belt sander.  Those were =
in the 'good old days'... (a lot of water went under the bridge since =
then...)
    =20
    The last few years, I've sent sets to 4 or 5 different places that =
recover them, and the results are quite mixed.  Some do good work, some =
is not so good.
    =20
    Well, now I'm interested in getting into it again, but I'm not sure =
what tools or jigs are available to assist with this job.  I know things =
have come a long way since the early '80s.  A few years ago, there was =
an ad in the Journal for the "Peterson Router Guide", and there may have =
been others, but I've not seen anything of this nature for a while. =20
    =20
    If any of you are recovering your own keys, I'd be interested in how =
you're doing it.  Did you find jigs or tools already made?  Did you make =
your own?  What kinds of glue do you find work the best?  Is there an =
article in the Journal that I've missed?  I do have access to most going =
back about 10 years or so.

    Thanks for your input.
    =20
    Best wishes,
