I make a composite multilam block with a 9mm Delignit cap. I'm the guy who introduced y'all to them, but my testing has convinced me that there's no difference worthy of the price between a high dollar plank and the cheap rotary cut supply house product with the same high quality cap. It's the cap that does most of the work, and I find it hard to put in an expensive quarter sawn block unless it's doing something wonderful while it's in there. >Trix always put 4 coils on the pins in the top treble > section as per original for the reasons of the pin depth issue stated > below. I use about 2-1/2 coils throughout, but my low bass core wire is typically 0.051" rather than 0.064", so the bass coils don't stack as deep. I don't find enough difference in torque from end to end double drilling, which I also introduced y'all to, to bother with different drill sizes. But it's whatever works to the satisfaction of all concerned that counts, whatever it takes to get there. > Since the wire is thicker in the bass and makes for a taller coil the > other solution is insert a longer pin.

That's the whole point of the composite block with the 2-3/8" Denro pins that I use. I'd go with a smaller hole like you did, before I'd put in a longer pin. Ron N
