I don't see how it helps flagpoling, but it does provide a solid and tight fit for the pin just where it needs to be - at the top of the block. Personally, I don't see much point in wasting an expensive block as dead filler underneath the Delignit cap that's doing virtually all the work. In my opinion, the cheap rotary cut multi lamination blocks are ideal for this use. > I know drilling speeds have much to do with ultimate pin fit but even > using consistent feed rates,air & the same size bits, I can still get > some discrepencies in torque. ie.
