As you can see from the quote below, this issue was discussed =
almost
exactly one year ago. Contact Don Manino. As you can see, =
from the
recent posts on center pin friction, there can be a considerable number =
of
variables besides the tool itself.<br>

Mike,<br>
<br>
I just bought a couple of sets the other day - I'll mic them on Monday =
and see
if they are as bad as the ones you got.<br>
<br>
If this is common I'll have to have a talk with the people making =
them.<br>

I currently have the Mannino broach kit from Schaff, but often get =

How do the broaches differ from the straight reamers in consistency? Any =

benefits of the straight reamers that you like? <br>
<br>
While were on the subject, how do the Pianotek reamers compare to =

roughened center pins, a la Steve Bradys book, A Piano
Technicians Guide to Field Repairs?<br>
<br>
I dont mind ordering the straight reamers, but Im tool =

as it is. If roughened center pins will work just as well, Id =
rather save
the $139.00.<br>
