Fwd: "shaving" old key leads

[pianolover 88]

>  Use a forstner bit<

I CAN'T BELIEVE IT! I actually "discovered" this type of bit at the hardware 
store JUST yesterday, and bought the 1/2" size, which is same diameter as 
the lead...works great! No dust produced, and each key is finished in 
seconds! And here I thought I was the only one who came up with this idea.

           Use a forstner bit in the drill press. It just shaves it off. Run
some air on it to help keep it cool. Yes it will dull the bit eventually but 
it
shaves it clean without dust & requires no sanding. Your surface is smooth
and shiny. You sacrifice a five dollar bit for  the de -lead effort, so 
what.
