Hammer felt weight reduction from filing

Before and after weights of hammer and shank, with photos showing
the hammer before filing with a rule showing the length of the grooves

There is a final photo of the mid treble hammer, reattached to the rail between hammers that had not yet been filed.
The piano is a Steinway B, about 15 years old. I did a hammer at the bottom of the tenor section (F#2), one at the top of that section, and one in the middle of the treble sections.
In each case, the length of the grooves was 10 mm or a little more. The result shows that in each case the filing removed about 0.3 gm of felt from the hammer.
