<P>That's what I've been using, but it's still not as exact as I would
like.</P>
<P>On another note, Will you be attending the MARC this year?<BR></P>

<P>Large flat file with one of the thin edges ground smooth so I can get
into the notch without cutting in the wrong direction.</P>
<P> </P>
<P>If there is a lot of material to trim, I use a Dremmel with a
side-cutting bit to rough it out first. Be careful if you do that, it can
get away from you.<BR><BR>Alan Barnard<BR>Salem, MO<BR>Joshua

<P align=left>Alan, what method of trimming keytops do you use? I'm
referring to the overhang on the sides.</P>
<P>Thanks,</P>

<P>Spent several hours in a nice home today, installing keys newly
topped, regulating, etc. Didn't take a lunch break because it was way
out in the country, so I got pretty hungry in the
afternoon.<BR></P>
<P>Meanwhile, for the duration of the time I was there, the young lady
was baking batch after batch after batch of wonderful-smelling chocolate
chip cookies for some church social or something.</P>
<P><BR>Was I offered any? Noooooo.<BR></P>
<P>I have other people invite me to lunch or dinner, sometimes, and have
been handed many a plate of cookies or homemade bread, etc. But not this
time.<BR></P>
<P>So I made extra noise and scattered keytop shavings all over the
place. <IMG
