That is the</div> <div>depth of the front rail bushing on the pin. There should be at</div> <div> least 1/4" of the pin into the bushing at rest. Getting the key too</div> <div>high on the pin can cause accelerated wear from the end of the pin</div> <div>impacting into the cloth. In other words, the pin should be in as</div> <div>least as far as the depth of the cloth.</div> <div><br></div> <div>So before you raise the key level, grip the f/r pin with tweezers</div> <div>at the bottom of various sharps and lift the key to see what is there.</div> <div>That info will inform you as to whether it is better to raise the keys</div> <div>or lower the dip. Adjusting the dip is much faster (lower cost) than</div> <div>to raise the level. Of course you have to consider the height</div> <div>of the key slip too.</div> <div><br></div> <div>And around and around we go...</div> <div><br> Regards,<br> <br> Jon Page</div> </body> </html>
