Nancy, the proof is in the pudding, or the ice cream, if you like.
The best way to make sure you drill good, tight holes in your bats
is to try drilling some holes in some scrap pieces of wood and
then fitting them on your bat pins. You will quickly see what size
you need. This assures accuracy better than asking others
what they use.

One quick question...
What size drill bit do I use for drilling new
holes in my old bats?
I just looked through the archived bat debates
for my answer with no luck. I am a bit reluctant to
start a new bat debate...they seemed to get heated.
(It is so hard not to throw a pun in)
thanx,
nancy
I found a 38 yr old Shimpo and just had a new motor put in
and it took forever to get the motor from Japan!
I love it!
It=B9s perfect for a small space (which I have)
it has the tiniest footprint.
There is nothing like an old Shimpo!
Except when you have to move it,
but then again I can center 30lbs of clay and it doesn=B9t move either.

Hi Nancy,
Generally...3/8ths of an inch of Diameter for the Drill Bit,
as the Wheel Head's pins tend to be that size as Standard...

Nancy,
Take one of your bat pins to a hardware store where they have a drill ind=
ex
and see what size the bat pin head is. That is the size of the drill bit.
