NEW SUBJECT! When stringing, is there any benefit to
turning pins in, as opposed to pounding them? Is it
"block-specific", how? Opinions, please!

1.     It takes longer to turn in pins then to drive them.

2.    If you turn them ,then you need to reassess your drilling size as =
the pin heats and can burn the plank.

Some makers have a punch that turns as it punches. This is the best of =
both worlds.

The end result of a pin turned can be very even with no clicking or =
jumping down the track.

It does not work as well on a plank with thick laminations, but try on a =
delegnite type plank, and the result is very good.

You need to experiment with the planks you have at your disposal.
