[pianotech] Multi-tool

[erwinspiano at aol.com]

I bought a rebuilt Rockwell sonic-crafter.  I haven't used it much yet . I tried to use for cutting off shank ends but really too much vibration. I am disappointed that there not more types of aggressive wood cutting attachments or at least I haven't found them yet. I suspect I'll find the niche for it.
 Jon, How long did it take to free the block from the case? a minute or 2?

One can cut the body off a bass bridge apron clean enough 
to reuse it after modification, just did it on a Bjur upright. 
 
The treble bridge can be freed from binding on the plate strut. 
 
Pin blocks can be removed from the case too. I imagine a 
sounding board can be trimmed out too, I'll have to try it.
