I've used John's suggestion many times. I do my drilling in the piano. I
would suggest you get a parabolic drill bit. It drill the pinblock like it
was pine, with no scorching or glazing the hole, rapid chip removal, and
cooler running bit. Contact MSC. They have a web page and very fast service.
Use it as it comes. The tip is actually ground for soft material like
aluminum but does well in maple.
