Another option. Astro tools step/twist drill bits.Seeing this again reminds me, (thanks for bringing it up) bit choice and prep work is critical to keep the walking from affecting our intended work. If precision matters (and it does)
This is the cheapest best drill bit I’ve ever found for garage level work. “Pilot point” bits. Dedicate these to the drill press only, they’re way to easy to mess up with a hand drill but make perfectly round holes and last very well in the drill press.
We also use annular cutters in our cheap belt driven drill presses. That only works if the table will hold still, and you can hold the material solid to the table. It takes me more time to set up the material hold down than it does to drill the hole with the annular but it’s worth the extra effort. Annular cutters are not cheap and a poor setup is a quick easy way to break one and usually ruins or makes a mess of the material you’re working on.
I've never used them, but I think the people on GJ like them.
