A choice of pin length, pinblock composition, drilling fit, and driving depth would still let you put the takeoff point of the coil at any height you like above the plate regardless of the number of turns on the coil. And the string draft angle does relate to pin angle, or should. The angle relationship of the pin to the string, determined in part by the angle of the pin in the block, *is* the part of this that affects the process of getting tight coils. Why would having to drive the pin deeper be a problem? I covered that with "choice of pin length", "pinblock composition", and "drilling fit". Ron N
