Hello List, I have gotten some hammers bored recently and have discovered in putting them on that the bore distance is about 1/4 inch greater than on the old set. Using a let-off jig, a small level and a gauge to measure the string height, I checked my hunch and it appears that the bore is indeed 1/4 inch too much (shank does not get all the way up to perpendicular) I am wondering what would be considered reasonable tolerances in the ideal bore distance?
