>How much of pin should ideally be in block? As my grandmother used to say to my relatives when divulging ingredients for recipes for her fantastic pies: Enough but not too much. Generally speaking, The top of the pin usually is anywhere from 7/8" to 1" above the plate. Allowing for a 3/8" thickness of plate at tuning pin field, with a 2 3/8" pin, that leaves 1" and 1 1/8" into the block respectively. Subtract from that the 3/16" bevel at the bottom of the pin, leaving... um... er... why can't we use metric? :-) ... Enough but not too much... A lot depends on the block material and bore diameter/drill speed. -- Regards, Jon Page -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
