These will make it real easy for you, especially if you are not real handy with power tools or are just learning. I make my own from scratch, not drills, but pretty much on the same idea. I use a solid 5/32 pilot as that is my thru hole dia.. I can even use a hand drill if need be as they follow the thru hole but I prefer the drill press, Bridgeport.
Nebe's idea is very good too, putting the tail hole in first and then the thru hole, but I think the pilot is the better option. Good luck.
