In my post, I meant the drill size should be the "real" drill size,
not some artificially small drill size just for centering the drill
bit.  I.e. don't change the drill size if you need a centering dimple,
use the drill helper instead.

*My* fab shop wants drill sizes to be finished sizes, but yes, it's up
to you and your fab shop to specify drill size meaning.
