I will indeed do it the way I damned please - you certainly stated that clear enough. Sorry Terry, didn't mean to get on your case, but Ron started me going. I was just referring to two passes, not the method or type of drill bit. But no, you are not clear at all regarding the advantages of a second pass by hand, which is what I was asking about - I don't see that you even addressed it. I try to have an open mind and maybe learn something. I was asking those who do a second pass by hand what they find advantageous about that method. I like thinking about new things and learning new things. Does that like come off as threatening or sarcastic or something? I have done it both way. At the present time I am doing the second pass by hand and here is why. There is usually a bit of time between drilling the pinblock and when I'm ready to restring the piano. I like to restring immediately after the pianoblock has been drilled. That's why I drill the second pass by hand, in the piano, right before I'm ready to string. Disclaimer: I'm not saying it's the best method, I not saying it's the way it should be done, I'm just saying, it's the way I do it and why.

Seems to me that a bit in a stable drill press will always give more consistent results.

I'm just saying two passes are best. Do it the way you damned please.
