Would appreciate talking to someone who had one. Also interested to learn
if you can get the abrasive belts in different materials for ivory and
plastic removal.<br>

It would be easier to remove the material with heat (iron) and plane the
substrata.<br>
<br>
I use a plunge router bit in the drill press, the key is held in a drill
press vise and <br>
passed under the bit. A fence is used as a stop to restrict the material
removal<br>
to the area under the new key top (producing and inlay effect).<br>
