I have never used a sanding disc for keytops., nor a belt sander, for
that matter.<br>
Call me chicken but I have seen too many waifs of keys to think that I
could do better.<br>
Murphey's Law. Avoid precarious situations.<br>

When my laminate trimmer was disabled I did all the trimming by hand
file,<br>
time consuming but it got the job done.<br>
<br>
Find a flush trimming router bit with the cutting edge close to the
bearing so that the bearing will<br>
ride on the solid portion of the key while trimming the plastic. Have one
machined for the<br>
purpose if necessary.<br>
