If the ball seat was true to the threads you would see 'wobble' in the seat while spinning. Watch the video and see the seat is true to the hex. Plus I'm not sure what company would manufacture a thread and seat to a nice tight tolerance, then indifferently machine the hex. They either do all the machining right, or it's all suspect IMHO.
I don't dispute that holding the threads is far more accurate, but you can't honestly be suggesting that the bolt in the video may be GOOD!? |
