Hello!
I've got a question about drilling and pining that maybe someone can clear up. I've drills drilled and pinned with success and also with bending failure before so I'm trying to figure out what went wrong and right. Watched videos and tap lightly, have good drill press.
Anyway, let's say I've got the scales drilled and wedge drilled and then put them together, because the taper of the wedge that would force the pin to need to bend in the middle at an angle. Or I could put a shim under the scales with the wedge in and then drill to prevent the angle. But that's just a idea. How do you guys get around this?
Or do you just put the wedge in, lay the scales flat on the bottom scale and drill with the top scale having the hole drilled a slight angle...?
Thanks for the help,
M
