Because like i said the pin scar damage is done whilst pacing the pin and during its use. It is not placed then pulled out then modified.

Wasnt suggesting at all that you would chip a hold. Dont kow how you got that from what i said.
I was just saying manufacturing is manufacturing wether it be a hold or a bolt hole made into a nut placement.

Just outta interest how can you say it would only take a nut not a finger ? Everyopne has different finger sizes for starters
secondly i have seen many people 'crimp' the indoor bolt hole edges and holds outside smaller than a bolt hole edge, so why would you hole be any different ?
