Pinblocks

[Farrell]

If you are ready to put in a new pinblock - absoultely, go for it! If you don't really want to and the old block is not delaminating significantly, you may want to consider just plugging the old block with 1/2" pinblock plugs - makes the old block good as new and you don't have to monkey with fitting, drilling screw holes, etc. - real handy if you don't have a band saw and prefer not to do a new block. But, like I say, if a new block is something you want to experience, then by all means do it to it!
