Why is the raised axle hole on a 3 wheel rail rider design drilled canted? Since it doesn't touch the track, how does this differ than if it were drilled straight?

Well, 2 places. in the video in this post from mood he states at 1:39 to 1:59 " I will drill the front raised canted and the fdw straight" . pddr.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=help1&action=display&thread=1472And also because I received a drilled block today from ___ and it is drilled the same way. Rears canted, front left raised is canted and front right (fdw) is drilled straight. Am I missing something here?

My ___ blocks don't have a canted raised. Are you sure it is canted?

Well, let me explain a little further here what I'm doing. Upon receiving the block I pushed some raw bsa axles about halfway in just to check out how things worked.
If you set the car on a level surface the RR wheel is off the ground, however if you put some weights in the rear that LF wheel raises as it's supposed to. I assume this is the way it should be? I think I remember seeing 3 different drilling heights for the axles somewhere... I don't know if a bent axle could be causing this since I don't have any axles prepped yet or that's just the way it's supposed to react until it's weighted. When I weighted the block it did look like it was canted slightly but not as much as the rears.
Upon further re-inspection this morning, I took the wheel off so I am just looking at the axle only and it definitely has some can't to it. I can't tell you guys the amount because I'm not experienced in this type of thing yet as this is my 1st canted car. But it looks to be about 50% less than the rears.
What is the norm? Both fronts drilled straight?
