I don't get ya.

I presume by Drill Cycle you are refferring to CNC, which I dont have (Unless its part of my mysterious extra Christmas present from my dad)

As for doing it by drill, is there any advantage over just having many little pins? Or would I just be best to make a Cathar style block?

I believe the drill and small achannel design came about because of the way of manufacture, not necessarily a series of joined drilled holes having better performance than many channels crossing, to form many pins.
