<html> <body> Kerry, <x-tab>        </x-tab>Thanks for your response. It's nice to make your acquaintance even if only through text. I'm looking into this RouterMaster. It seems a bit steep for my pocketbook but I haven't ruled it out. Thanks for your interest. I wonder now if those were prices in US dollars?

The builder of the Routermaster "Keith Yarker" can modify to suite your needs. Its arm is 600 mm as standard, but is available in 900 mm and 1300 mm lenghts. His email address has changed and he will send it to me shortly, so you can contact him direct.   My history is 5 year Apprentiship at 15 years old, (started 1963), current President of Qld Guild, Vice President APTTA (our National Association), Teacher at Technicial Colledge for apprentices (Part Time), run own business in Tuning, & Rebuilding.   Regards   Kerry Cooper  <dl> <dd>----- Original Message ----- <dd>From: <a href="mailto:gnewell@ameritech.net">Greg Newell</a> <dd>To: <a href="mailto:pianotech@ptg.org">Pianotech</a> <dd>Sent: Tuesday, February 18, 2003 12:04 AM <dd>Subject: Re: RE; Radial arm drill <dd>Kerry, <dd><x-tab>        </x-tab>That certainly is an interesting looking contraption. Looks like you simply attach your own personal hand drill to it. I've seen these here but never in radial arm fashion. Is that you using it? (sometimes I have trouble with gender from a name, no offense I hope). Is this something you use? What kind of run out does one get? Seems like there would be room for some inaccuracy depending on how your hand drill is mounted to the apparatus. What is the depth of feed? <dd><x-tab>        </x-tab>Thanks for taking the time to forward this to me. <dd>Greg <dd>At 08:56 AM 2/17/2003, you wrote: <blockquote type=cite class=cite cite> <dd>Greg Said <dd>While the price of the Shop Fox was inexpensive I suppose it only gives more support <dd>to the old saying that "you get what you pay for".
