pinblock?</title></head><body>
<div>><font face="Arial" color="#000000">How much of pin should
ideally be in block?</font></div>
<div><br></div>
<div>As my grandmother used to say to my relatives when divulging
ingredients</div>
<div>for recipes for her fantastic pies: Enough but not too
much.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Generally speaking, The top of the pin usually is anywhere from
7/8" to 1"</div>
<div>above the plate. Allowing for a 3/8" thickness of plate at
tuning pin field,</div>
<div>with a 2 3/8" pin, that leaves 1" and 1 1/8" into
the block respectively.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Subtract from that the 3/16" bevel at the bottom of the pin,
leaving...</div>
<div>um... er... why can't we use metric? :-) ...
Enough but not too much...</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>A lot depends on the block material and bore diameter/drill
speed.</div>
