Steinway O Drilling Pinblock



One of the last tasks before reinstalling the plate for the final time is to drill the pinblock. I constructed a sled a number of years ago that allows me to position the pinblock for drilling. I drill the block at a 3 degree angle. My drill press table tilts, so setting this is very easy. Also, I use a chiller to keep the bit cool, which give consistency to the holes I am drill, as well as adds longevity to the drill bit.
