Pinblock reamers

List,

Has anyone out there had any experience using a pinblock reamer such as
the one Pianotek sells?

I've got a customer, an amateur but talented piano rebuilder, who drilled
out a Falconwood pinblock years ago with a regular twist drill (probably
a dull one) and thoroughly scored the insides of the pin holes. Ever
since then the tuning pins have been  jumpy and tight rendering his
otherwise beautiful M&H grand untunable. 

I'm thinking that I can just ream out the holes and restring the piano
with oversized pins. 

Any advice?

What rpm's should I set my drill at?

Thanks,
