In reverse order...
Russ- as always, your posts are enlightening and entertaining. I'm glad there's not much stuffiness or over-enforced decorum here on BBoard. Alas though, I do fear that some of you have hifalutin work settings.
Norman- good point. With my corners so far down I've been limited how much I could adjust position.
Bob- I tend to buy cheap hardware and it's hard to complain when it doesn't work so good. Sorry to hear that even the pricey stuff isn't always reliable. Machines fail us, we end up doing so much "by hand", or with the wrong tool for the job. Nobody has yet answered your question of "why did they change the shape?"... perhaps there was no real reason, like the changes in the shape of men's suit lapels, which serve only to make men buy more suits.
kilo- I agree that direct simple approaches are often the best. I'm going to try to make my sanding method work better, perhaps by following up with a nail buffing tool.
Ken- thanks for confirming a reason the profile may matter a bunch. I will follow this through one way or another.
John- ah, oboe players- bless their hearts. Nothing replaces the oboe in the orchestra, music would be much poorer without it. So I'm glad some folks are willing to tackle the beast. So if reed tip shape is unimportant on oboe, I'm glad you can relax about at least one item.
