Doesn't need to be done, But the whole point of it is to raise the contact points of the razor board making it more responsive.

But you have never installed a razor x.

Ive done my own razors, and i never tined the tops, but those are copper, it might be different.  i always dremel to the copper from underneath, it saves me about 30 bucks instead of buying a razor X. In the french guys thing, i read that too, does he just use the washer method or what?
