the only reason this is not possible with a drill-press and normal drill-bits, is the fact that the bits are so bendy and braky..

this will give the formed pins the perfect shape. the Sqr-end bit will also not be so prone to wander, as it will be cutting on the perpendicular plane to the downward force applied.
I was of the understanding (mistakenly?) that this would result in pins being too small - copper/water ratio being all wrong. No?
