Do you guys have any tips for drilling accurate, perfectly aligned holes?
I have often wondered this, and my recent DIY attempt at putting up a TV bracket reminded me to ask for some advice. I used a spirit level to mark the hole positions, but no matter how careful I was with the drill, the 2nd hole was ever so slightly off centre from the first one, causing the resulting bracket to not be level. Maybe I wasn't aligning the drill correctly, but I noticed the drill bit always 'slipped' a little when I started drilling, causing the hole to be slightly off. Maybe I should drill a pilot hole using a small drill bit first?
Hoping you guys have some good tips! cheers
