How to properly drill carb jets?

Don't drill them. Drills are about as accurate as measuring you cylinder bore with a ruler.

If you are going to modify an existing jet, you need a reamer. Drill the jet to ~.010 under the size you want and ream it to finish. Only run the reamer through the hole forward, and use only one pass.

So if I have a jet that's 0.076" I can just ream it to 0.085" and not use a drill at all? Is that something I could do in my garage or should I just perhaps take the jets to a machine shop?
