Pin Block

[Roger Jolly]

Hi Matthew,
                   41 ply pin blocks are not only critical for drill size
but the rate of feed, and bit cooling is very important. I have tried all
of the common block material, and will only use Boldoc from now on. 0.010"
undersize and the pins feel wonderful, with very few jumpy pins.
Baldwin has a lot of expensive machinery to drill those blocks, and it's
hard to reproduce the results in the average rebuilding shop.
Regards Roger
