Hi Tom,
             You will not find that practice in the Yamaha factory.  I
would really question this practice.  Yamaha still makes it's own Onion
skin type punchings, much better quality than the North American product.
Thin but strong.  I think they are 0.06mm, but don't quote me on that
dimension.  I asked Mark Wisner if Yamaha USA carried them in stock, the
answer was affirmative. 
Canadian's can get them thro' Yamaha Canada.
Walloping the felt punching with a hammer on a hard surface, is preferable
to removing material.
Regards Roger
