Not a thing wrong with the you describe.method. I've used it for years with great accuracy. I circle all the holes with a sharp pencil mark instead of punch. Whatever works.<BR>

Hi, I admire your efforts to promote pin block boring. But, what is wrong with the old fashioned way. Fit the block to the plate, and bore all of the screw holes, insert screws, and then with a center punch, mark all of the pin holes. Remove block, and transfer to a good drill press with a 750 RPM setting, with a backing as long as the block, and set at a 5 or 7 degree reverse angle. Much easier, cheaper, and just as accurate than building a complex apparatus to sit on the piano, which in most cases would probably gouge the case.<BR>
<BR>
Just my thoughts on it. I have done dozens of grand pin block replacements using this method, and none has ever failed.<BR>
