Agreed. You can also use pad patterns in the artwork that have 'drill giude holes'. Your pads become little doughnuts. When drilling, try to use a very light fingertip pressure only as the drill point contacts the material - allowing the drill to pull the board to center. When centered, gently clamp with fingertips and increase quill pressurre. Any off center condition, whether from a centering error or the tip wandering before it bites will cause side pressure on the drill resulting in a ratty hole at best, broken bit at worst. None of this matters if your drillpress has runout or flexes under pressure. My hands are twitchy too so I'm sympathetic to Spin's problem..I guess I should say that making a dent first really helps guide the drill. Anything pointy and hard, only the pressure of your hand. A scratch awl, a center punch (but NOT the spring loaded kind!). And a backer board a la Gopher. Mustn't forget, a hole has two ends.
