It has always been my impression that it would be difficult not to center the second pass. I drill in the piano, with my hovercraft drill press setup, and the second pass seems to center pretty much automatically with a regular jobber bit. Maybe there's a potential problem I'm not aware of here. What sort of drilling rig and procedure do you use? Ron N
