I have cheap chisels. There, I said it. My first set of chisels was the Neiko Chisel set, and I acquired the HF chisels just because I got them on sale for $3. Over time I’ve become rather unhappy with the edge retention of the Neiko chisels, so I recently purchased the Narex.
You can find these chisels at these various locations:
Upon receiving the Narex chisels I decided to do some investigation. First I came up with a test protocol that consisted of the following stages:
RM1x switch replacement modification
Today we're going to have a tutorial on how to replace the switches on the Yamaha RM1x. Why would you do this you may ask? There's a few reasons:
- The switches break. It's fairly common for the switches on this machine to go bad and be very difficult to use.
- You can have better feel on your switches. Switches with a tactile click are much better for this purpose.
- Resale value! The RM1x is worth more when the most common problem and complaint is resolved.
