Ron, Your quote: "While I'm not altogether convinced there would be any significant performance benefit to Delignit plugs over trimmed hardwood dowels, I don't see any reason not to give it a try either and find out. Ron N" With hardwood dowels, you're back to the main problem of plate bushings: you're working with end grain rather than cross grain. Cross grain is far more stable and less prone to crushing, etc. It WILL give a markedly better tuning pin feel! Best Regards, Joe Garrett, RPT, (Oregon) Captain, Tool Police Squares Are I
