[pianotech] Size of Pinblock Drill bit?

I've been using a $79 Sears special for many years. I upgraded it with a high-quality (low run-out) chuck. It has served me very well. A larger, heavier drill press would always be welcome - but you can get by with a small one if you wish. Just be sure to put a good chuck on it - I think mine is a Jacobs and cost around $100.
