Hi Dale,<BR>
With the size bit Pianotech provides (#46), you'll find it hard enough to <BR>
drive a #7 pin into a laminated cap without bending it, much less going a <BR>
size smaller. <BR>

The key word in your post was LAMINATED cap. I was referring to quater sawn maple caps and gaining more "compression resistance" I would certainly think the laminate cap would be a nice snug fit with the no.46 bit. If the maple is hard and grain tight it is also nice a snug ,it's only when it's not that a smaller bit will make a tighter better fit.</BLOCKQUOTE><BR>
