<p class="MsoNormal">If the wood was very hard you could make a drill block. Or use a piece of thick hard plastic, such as a section of Corian countertop. I wouldn’t use e.g. a piece of soft pine, the bit could wobble and cut into the sides of the hole, enlarging
it.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I’ll just toss out that you could buy a new tool also (something that often tempts me)

<p class="MsoNormal">What is the best way to drill a perpendicular hole for an insert?<o:p></o:p></p>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">I'm using a 7/16-20 time sert. I need to drill a perpendicular hole in the captive nut. The dril I need to use is 29/64. Should I start with drilling smaller diameter holes and then end up with the 29/26? <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Im thinking of drilling a perpendicular hole in a piece of wood in my drill press and then using that as a guide.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Any recommendations please. The last time I used an insert, the hole wasn't perpendicular. <o:p></o:p></p>
