This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Hi Terry, Yes that is what I had in my mind that he was doing . Just = wanted to be sure. At some point the rod must become too short to use = and you need another. I sure like the background that Jurgen is using. I can clearly see the = field of type. Much better for me than B&W Joe Goss RPT Mother Goose Tools imatunr@srvinet.com www.mothergoosetools.com ----- Original Message -----=20 From: Farrell=20 To: Pianotech=20 Sent: Friday, August 06, 2004 7:28 AM Subject: Re: Metric Center Pin Sizes Hi Joe, Well yes, and perhaps, no. I not sure you are understanding exactly = what Jurgen is doing (or maybe I'm not understanding you!). The rods ARE = the center pins. The one end is filed rough and serves as the broach, = the next section of rod/pin is used to burnish the bushing, then the = flange is assembled with the shank (or whatever) on the long rod and the = rod is then cut flush with the outside of the flange. He does not use = the little ready-made 3/4" long center pins that the supply houses sell. The long length of the rod make for a very efficient burnishing tool. Terry Farrell www.farrellpiano.com Hi Jurgen, that is similar to what we do here except the broaches = are much shorter making it easier to fit in the tuners kit. Are your = rods made of brass or steel?

They've given classes on it at the = conventions. ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
