I wondered about that, but what are you insuring? There is no less bridge on the top than any other place along the bridge, even though generally the bridge pins are spread as little as 11/32". Aiming them toward the notch may hedge against bridge notch edge compression. But maybe not ...:-) P In a message dated 12/24/2008 11:48:30 P.M.

In that case leaning them out is probably just insurance . Otherwise I drill with the lean along the notch line & whistle a happy tune. Dale Thanks for the information, and I'm curious about the compound angle. Why did you do that? What were you trying to achieve? Paul In a message dated 12/24/2008 8:34:43 P.M.

I look for what works for me, and don't really care much who does or does not agree with me. I use 15⁰. In some cases I have made it a compound angle, with front pins leaning forward as much as 15⁰, as well as 15⁰ to the side, the back pins leaning to the back 15⁰ as well as 15⁰ to the side. The front to back leaning seems to be fairly inconsequential, but2015⁰ to the side works for me.
