How much tuning pin in pinblock?

[Jon Page]

>How much of pin should ideally be in block?

As my grandmother used to say to my relatives when divulging ingredients
for recipes for her fantastic pies: Enough but not too much.

Generally speaking, The top of the pin usually is anywhere from 7/8" to 1"
above the plate. Allowing for a 3/8" thickness of plate at tuning pin field,
with a 2 3/8" pin, that leaves 1" and 1 1/8" into the block respectively.

Subtract from that the 3/16" bevel at the bottom of the pin, leaving...
um... er... why can't we use metric?  :-) ...   Enough but not too much...

A lot depends on the block material and bore diameter/drill speed.
