well,i guess that will work,i just always use a small center punch and
hammer and punch a hole in one of the flats of the bolt head so the drill
bit won't walk.the machinist's vice we have has small V cuts that grab the
points of the bolt head securely and keep it from moving.

The jig will keep the small drill bit from walking (or flexing) should
the
bolt not be properly squared up!
