Backing Block for drilling makes clean exit hole
Without the backing block exit holes can be a mess.  If previously glassed, the glass can rip away from the wood around the hole if your drill speed isn't just right and your bit very sharp.  The backing block makes it a clean exit hole as long as there is solid wood left in your block that you are drilling into!  This one is just about ready to replace!
