Must I? No, actually, I rummaged through a big bin of them at my local 
surplus yard thirty years ago, caliper in hand, and found what I wanted. 
Cost me maybe ten minutes and a couple of bucks. I didn't have a lathe 
at the time, but making a pilot wouldn't have been all that tough on a 
drill press either. I haven't looked, but since there seem to be 
billions of pilots knocking around, I expect they're available 
commercially too.
