  Subject: Backchecking Height


  Does anyone have a method for regulating the height of backchecking so =
that
  the results are very even?

  Well, a lot of other stuff has to be in good shape and well regulated, =
namely the whole action, but especially key height and key dip;  and =
then let-off and repetition spring strength to a lesser extent.  =
Backchecks have to be aligned to hammer tails, the backcheck angle has =
to be uniform, etc.   Variations in pinning of the hammer flanges will =
have an effect.  It's easier to attain in a newer action than an old =
one, usually.  But even, consistent backchecking is one of the results =
of a well-regulated action
