I have a leather cap that fits over the end to protect the frame finish. When the nail head contacts the frame, the palm nailer stops. I find that I have very little leveling to do when the job is finished. You have to experiment to what  length you make the nail, anyway it makes the job much faster.<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> Kerry Cooper ARPT<o:p></o:p> <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:City w:st="on">Brisbane</st1:City></st1:place> <o:p></o:p> <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:country-region w:st="on">Australia</st1:country-region></st1:place> <o:p></o:p> <a href="http://www.aptta.org.au/">www.aptta.org.au</a><o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> <o:p> </o:p> <div> <div class=MsoNormal align=center style='text-align:center'> <hr size=2 width="100%" align=center tabindex=-1> </div> From: pianotech-bounces@ptg.org [mailto:pianotech-bounces@ptg.org] On Behalf Of <st1:PersonName w:st="on">Bill Costanzo</st1:PersonName> Sent: Sunday, 6 August 2006 4:45 AM To: <st1:PersonName w:st="on">pianotech@ptg.org</st1:PersonName> Subject: Palm Nailer<o:p></o:p> </div> <o:p> </o:p> I am going to attempt my first stringing job with a palm nailer (done many the traditional 2 lb hammer way) and need an explanation of how to modify the tip to get the proper pin height.  Someone touched on this at one of the rebuilding classes in <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:City w:st="on">Rochester</st1:City></st1:place>, but I wasn’t at all clear about it.  Pictures would be nice, and any other info on procedure and things to watch out for would also be greatly appreciated. The piano is a small <st1:place w:st="on">Baldwin</st1:place> grand, model E, and the palm nailer is a cheapy from Harbor Freight, but seems to work alright.<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> Thanks, <st1:PersonName w:st="on">Bill Costanzo</st1:PersonName><o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> </div> </body> </html> -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
