Be aware if you drill out your pin hole at the nominal size of your pin stock you will probably have to enlarge the hole slightly to get the pin to fit. I use a carbide bur on a rotary tool for the job. However it a good idea to measure your pin stock first. I had some copper rod that actually was just a little under the nominal size and fit well in the hole as drilled.
