I drill out of the piano at the drill press. I temporarily attach the pinblock to the plate (or vice versa in the case of a Steinway) and mark the hole locations with a transfer punch. I've been happy with the results. Hi Phil I always use a sleve thats just the same outside diameter that the plate hole is, and the same inside diameter as the drill bit... plus enough so that the bit slides easily through it. The sleve is 12 mm long. I got several for different size drill bits. Works pretty decently, mildly a hassle... but no biggie. RicB -- Richard Brekne RPT, N.P.T.F.
