<P align=left>Regarding the reamer from Pianotek, actually
a counterbore. It was a good idea that I believe needed =
improvement.
I bought another one with a straight shank, had a machinist =
resharpen the
end with a 13* bevel. This will reproduce the relief in the =
shoulder of
the agraffe, a necessary feature in MHO. Next time I would try =
around 15*.
Here's a link that shows it in use on a drill press. I'm not =
worried about
over tightening, I find that new agraffes are often to high and =
need
machining to maintain the proper string height. I'll publish a new =
picture
latter that will show something other that a blur.
