I score a line with a scriber along the rail, then clamp the old rail to the new and, using a small engineers' square scribe across this line to make a cross for each screw. Next mark the centres with an impact punch and then use a 6 mm centre drill set to stop at the proper height and finally drill down with a normal twist drill nearly to the bottom of the maple dowel, or, in the case of the set-off rail, right through.
