I commonly find plate/pinblock screws and tuning pin holes that are not well centered, etc. ------------- I agree. The purpose of using the old block as a template is that Bolduc offers to ship a new block pre cut, pre drilled, tuning pin holes and all, ready to glue with minimal final fitting. You have to ship him the block, and use his tool(approx$200+US). I drilled my own block awayway. I was pleased how little time it took to remove and replace block, much less then the grand blocks I have done. I have never been satisfied with my drilling outside the plate. Better with plate in.
