23 holes and have the same issue mentioned in the video I included earlier...
So no. The holes that are not threaded will not allow a 3/8" to go through... you must get another brand of 1-2-3 blocks (or modify them). Mine are from China.

Ok I thought so. Just wanted to check. Thanks for the reply

Since these were inexpensive, and I need projects to practice, I will drill them and see if they align perfectly when bolting them together.
That's what I was thinking also.. let me know how it goes

Thank you for letting us know... I will try with a drill bit first. I have a 3/8" Dewalt Cobalt Twist Drill Bit that I was thinking using... if that does not go well, I will leave them alone...
The Enco site says that they are case hardened. If so then I agree that drilling will not work well or at all.
It seems to me that it would be a lot less work to machine and drill a purpose built block.

I will leave them alone then... no sense in ruining a good bit. I got some angle plates in case I need something like that...
I did find 11 hole 123 blocks on shars.com that look like they can be bolted together with socket head cap screws. I'm thinking of getting a set. http://www.shars.com/123-economy-block-with-11-holes-1
