List, Pianotek bushing cloth cutter (#JCC-1, p. D-25)is very, very sharp! Found out today as I got to use it for the first time today. I was not expecting it to be so sharp - was holding a keystick in my left hand while gently applying pressure to the bushing to be cut. It cut through the wood (not much there 'cause it was a spinet), then cut an inch-wide incision about 0.5-0.75" deep into my left index finger. No stitches - just Steri-Strips. But an emergency room visit ain't cheap. (It was nearly 5:00 p.m. and couldn't get to a clinic in time.) Stupid me, yes, I know. Y'all be careful out there - someone's done did it so you don't have to. Always have the keystick on a workbench or floor when using this tool. Hands out of the way! Great tool, though.... :-) Johnnie "the Blade" Formsma
