Step 2Marking and Drilling the board
Place the template over the board and using the center punch mark each center dot. I used and automatic punch as you only have to press on it. If you are using a punch and hammer I would suggest taping the template to the board.
Once you have the board marked it can be drilled. I mounted the round nose router bit in the pillar drill and set the depth stop on the drill. I would suggest practicing on a similar piece of timber to set you drill to the correct speed to achieve a nice finish with the bit.
You may have the same problem I faced and could not position the board on the pillar drill to get a few holes in the centre of the board. To get around this either use the router bit in a hand held drill or use a plunge router.
