<DIV><FONT size=4>If you really spun them out, they would be too hot =
to
touch. There might also be wisps of smoke. If the old pins =
were warm
but not hot, perhaps they were loose. Did any wood stick to the =
old pins;
sometimes little bits of wood will stick to the pins. Boy Scouts =
start
fires by this kind of procedure, wood on wood. Friction produces
heat. How long does it take you to remove a set of pins with a =
Milwaukee
drill. Takes me a couple of hours to do it by hand; and, it's not =
that
hard. </FONT></DIV>
