I have used that radius in the past but have found that 2.5" works more consistently. SO much so that I take each hammer off the rail and use a jig that has a nail at 2.5" to rotate the shank against. I then can check the pinning before screwing it back on the rail. Half the distance from center pin to hammer center line is a great rule of thumb. :) Newton David Ilvedson wrote: > > Wim, > > I believe the curvature of the backcheck > should be about a 3.5 inch radius.
