I personally would like to hear from those that drill in the piano about how they go about centering the drill in the plate hole. 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.
