Hey Everyone,
Straight to the point: I'm struggling to drill numerous holes in a straight line. This is the detailed process that I'm using, but somewhere I'm going astray...
I have a stencil made up of where I want to the center of the holes to be. The holes on the stencil are 2mm and I'm simply using a nail and hammer to mark out this holes on the work piece.

I firstly starting out using a 10mm forstner bit to drill the holes, but the one I had was really crappy and it was spinning too much in the drill press. (May have had the speed up too high?)

I then figured it was the crappy forstner bit and proceeding to go my local woodworking shop to get a better quality one. They were out of stock, so instead I picked up a brad point drill bit. I tried this in the drill press, at a lower speed, and still it wasn't coming out 100% accurate when I had finished drilling all my holes.
Finally, and where I am at the moment. I simply tried the brad point in a power drill and simply clamped down the work piece, put the center of the point in the punched hole and drilled away.
Needless to say, It's still not accurate....

Where am I going wrong? I really don't know which stage....I really need you help.

Thanks guys,
Ryan
