Number 30 bit for sure on any 1/8" pin material.

I slowly grind mine to 1/16th above the handle material after the epoxy has fully cured overnight.

Woods get nickel/silver or brass (never stainless) because you just have to hit stainless too hard.

Light taps around the head of the pin and one or two straight on. Do this until the head is sufficiently 'swollen' and stop.

G-10 and Linen/Canvas Micarta you can beat senseless.

With woods, I prefer mini-Corby's.
