I'm thinking of one or more of the mounting screws being off a little and pulling the block away from the plate flange creating future instability. The only pin block drilling I'm familiar with involved the mini drill press mounted on the seven degree wedge platform riding on the slick board across the piano sides. Did a good job, but certainly not uniform. I saw an article somewhere where this guy had a spring loaded clamp attached to his press platform that was adjustable up to 6 inches and could be opened by stomping on a foot lever! A third hand?
