Paul, Dale,

A considerable number of us don't live in an area where we can make $600 
servicing three pianos in a day. That means we can spend a half day 
doing a set of keytops and pay for time, where we can't get the price to 
send them out and still make anything. A good machine setup helps a 
bunch. I have an old Oslund machine set that simplifies and speeds 
things up considerably, but I used a set of table table saw jigs prior 
to that which worked fairly well, if a whole lot scarier.

As I've pointed out before, having five million people within an hour's 
drive of you makes for a significant difference in attitude and pricing.

I don't like doing them either, BTW, but I do.
