Hi Dale, >Although i don not do this job frequently occasionally I find it >advantageous to pull bridge pins in an existing bridge,renotch & >then put in new pins.

This can be a problem. We've made our own pins to the required size by getting silver steel centreless ground to the oversize diameter we require, then cutting the pins from the ground lengths of silver steel. But its a slow and costly process. Renner supplies bridge pins in several graduated diameters, but these pins do not have a very high standard of finish. We've been using them to date, but I'm looking for a better quality pin.
