I'm trying to drill a hole into 18mm timber approximately 5.5 inches from the edge using a 0.8mm bit. I would normally use a cheap Wickes bench press which will take a bit that size, but unfortunately it doesn't have the reach. Added to which, the Wickes press has a tendency to allow the bit to wander when drilling. My large Draper D16/16 drill press won't take a bit that size although it does have the reach to be able to make the cut.
Can anyone suggest how I might drill this very fine hole perpendicularly and accurately into the centre of the board?
