    By using a bur you are in better control of the direction of the
    hole, that is you can correct for drift. First drill a pilot hole
    with a small twist drill then finish with ball or bud burs. Blaine
    Lewis demonstrated this technique at Rio's Catalog in motion last
    year in Tucson. Try it. It works great.
