 A drill guide as you describe is a good idea.=C2=A0 I always use a guide l=
ike that whenever I use a tap.=C2=A0 If you get a tap started crooked you w=
ill never get it straightened out.=C2=A0 I like to use a solid block of alu=
minum but I have also used square tubing.=C2=A0 Same principal applies when=
 hand drilling.

Drilling a pilot hole is easier to get it centered.=C2=A0 Once the pilot ho=
le is there the other drill bits will self-center.

<div>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&nbsp;I&nbsp; start with 
drilling&nbsp;&nbsp;smaller&nbsp;diameter holes and then end up with the

<div>Im thinking&nbsp;of drilling a perpendicular hole in a piece of wood in my

<div>Any recommendations please. The last time I used an insert, the hole 
wasn't perpendicular.&nbsp;</div>
