Yes, absolutely true. Now to follow this up, when tapered pins were used, di=
d they drill a tapered hole ? My experience suggests the real problem with t=
apered pins is the sudden "grab" you get when pounding a tapered pin into a =
tapered hole. Mabye this is why they fell out of favor, you really need to h=
ammer intelligently. Even then leveling up pins for height produces wildly v=
ariable torques.<BR>
