I use 1/2" and 27/64 with success on Gent Retro and Statesman Jr II. The 12.5 mm bit seems a bit tight, especially on some acrylics as I found out; and if you are going to paint the inside of the blanks, the 12.5 is definitely way too small. Personally, I don't see the need for such specialized drill bits, I normally use the one that is most close in my drill bit set (DeWalt Pilot bits in 1/64" increments) and have yet to have a problem.
