lightly in your drill press and put it on the lowest speed. Clamp a mill
file in your vise. Lower the quill. Might work, but it might make a helluva
mess of the agraffe! I haven't tried it. I have used the counterbore though, and
it works. Using Isaac's method with coarse emery cloth sounds like a good way to
go, and cheaper.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV>Thanks for the info, Alan. I wonder why the 1/4" costs so much more
than the 7/16"?</DIV>

<DIV></DIV>
<DIV> Hi all,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I replaced a broken agraffe on a Sohmer 57 grand that's 31 years
old, but the shoulder is too high, which leaves the strings too high as
well. It works, more or less, but it sounds kind of buzzy at the
moment. I want to get the job done correctly.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The shoulder on the stock Schaff agraffes is 1/8" thick, I believe, and
what I need is closer to 1/16". If anybody has 1/4" agraffes with a
1/16" shoulder, I'll gladly purchase them. I need one for a
bicord.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>IN the absence of that, does anyone have a way of shaving down the
shoulders for a better fit? And would this affect the its ability to
thread into the plate? Former chapter member Carl Meyer, rest his
soul, almost certainly had just the device (and advice) I need...</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
