 We have been using .125 tooling holes for quite awhile,

 There was some discussion about what size tooling
 hole is "best", so I figured I would ask you guys.

Hi Jack!

If you have .125" holes in all your boards, I think it would be easier to get
some tooling pins that match your boards rather than have to go and change
all your board designs. Fuji tooling pins are changable, it's just a matter
of loosening a set-screw and putting a new pin in...any competent machine
shop should be able to make them for you.

Just a suggestion...
