I put a 12" length of band-saw blade into a hacksaw frame, and grunted my way from one end to the other, producing a 1/2" (± 5/8") slice of bridge cap. Help yourself to a recip saw. That of course was after removing the pins. I remember a while back, Dale Smith having to wrestle out a set of epoxied bridge pins. Heat was the answer then. I mean rally, all you want to do is pull the pins, resurface and re-notch, and reglue the pins, right? Bill Ballard RPT NH Chapter, P.T.G.
