Use a Centre Punch Before Drilling

Workshop Tip No. 8
Whenever you need to drill a whole though hardwood or plywood it's a good idea to use a 'Centre Punch' to mark the position of the hole first. This process is referred to as a 'centre-pop' and is common practice when drilling holes through steel etc. This 'centre-pop' will stop the drill bit from wandering away from the position marked.
