Flute Repinning Set

Our flute pinning needles are ground from high-grade stainless steel. They have a continuous taper that allows for insertion in oversized holes, or in new holes. Our reamers match the pin tapers perfectly and are offered in two sizes. The smaller reamer being for new holes, or cleaning up fresh holes. Use this also when the flute comes with straight nontapered holes. You want a nice taper to taper fit, so make sure that the hole in the key and shaft matches the pin taper. The larger reamer is for servicing points where the hole in the key work has gotten oversized or egg-shaped from repeated use or torque. This reamer can also be used to over-ream the key in order to solder in a brass plug. Silver if you have it. Once the key is plugged, it can be re-drilled with our micro-drill, followed by reaming of course. One may make a tapered metal plug with a file and bench motor (or Sherline lathe). Solder in with Tin/Silver alloy solder.
Needles sold in dozens, hundreds and thousands.
Contains 36 pins, 2 of each size reamer, 1 microdrill.
