Finger Inserts
« on: January 07, 2005, 06:08:45 PM »
I have question:

I like my finger inserts very snug(nobody likes a sloppy hole).  I have a problem when warm weather comes around or it is hot in the center, I have to cram my fingers into the holes.  

My driller uses the Vise inserts, he even has half sizes.  I like these very much, the tenth frames are good too, the turbos suck.  I have tried drilling the holes one size smaller with bigger inserts and drilling the holes bigger with smaller inserts.  No luck...what about drilling them larger with the same inserts??

What can I do to keep the inserts tight and still have the room to expand in the summer/warm times?  

Thanks guys,
andrew

Brickguy -- I wasn't very clear with this statement.  What I meant was that the "taper" for both grips was actually added forward pitch, not that it was the same amount in both grips.  Sorry  --  JohnP

John, thats ok. No damage done...lol...Coming from you, I should have been able to figure that one out, but I guess my turning 68 next month has slowed my brain and made it foggy.
