Sounds interesting, but I probably would forget to move my finger.
I agree that a brad point bit will start the hole better, but I'm saying there's no access for the drill from the one side.
And if you do forget the first time, you won't forget any of the subsequent times!
That sounds kind of dangerous to me. I focus on holding the drill perpendicular to the board, and it works good enough.. Also, a drill press is the ultimate ass kicker for accurately drilling holes.
Heh. On Sunday, I was in a hurry, and I didn't want to change jigs. The result was that I tried five times, and failed five times, to drill three holes the same distance from the edge of a small piece of wood, on my DP.
Then I locked up the shop and found something else to do.
I told him his train was just going to have to wait. When you get into a downward spiral like that, your work quality just ain't gonna get any better.
