Hint, hint ......
answer to an earlier post with a recommendation:
I believe the # size of that drill to be wrong. A #9 is about 0.196 diameter and bigger than 3/16ths.
Here is a chart to find the correct diameters of drill bits for your purpose. Larger the # smaller the drill bit diameter.

I would guess the correct diameters to be #51 or #52 about 1/16th" and a bit larger.
Split points are a great improvement over regular bits for our works.
A screw machine length drill bit has shorter flutes and is less apt to bend while drilling.
Thanks for mentioning this.Quote:
Oops ... my second oversight ....
"Set the speed of the drill press as low as possible" is one other requirement that Sharpton has for drilling out the razors pins.
