Odd pin block

[Erwinspiano at aol.com]

How fast can you gitter done this way &  do you think it is the same amount 
of time as doing it the other way? ie. on the  drill press. Also, as you are 
pushing the quill down do you find that it wants  to lift the drill press off 
the plank floor? Seems to me that the drill machine  it self needs to have some 
weight to resist this phenom.
  Dale:

Right,  it's not a bit (sic) cumbersome. Alignment is what it 
is, enhanced by the  tendency of the bit to self center in the 
existing hole on the second  pass, or on the punched dimple on 
the first. Anything more demonstrably  illustrative would 
require standing at the machine and trying it for  yourself. 
That's a much more fundamental educational experience. It's  
possible to screw it up, like anything else, but I've tried to 
make  that as unlikely as possible by establishing a process 
that I can do  reliably. Using myself as the lowest common 
denominator for shop machine  processes seems to be a good 
indicator of the minimal viability of any  process. 
Translation: if I can do it, it's  easy.
