Hi Noel, what I would do to deal with this problem is to get myself a small block of wood and drill a hole in it using the drill press. I would then place the block on the job where it matters and use it as my guide

I've had problems lately (just started using my portable 12V drill extensively) that when I start screwing in a screw, it sometimes does not go in level. I'm assuming that there has got to be a better way than using an audible level or drill press. I'm working on putting together a set of Ikea kitchen cabinets and I'm terrified that I'll drill at an angle or something and screw myself up completely. I've tried using the screw driver bits with a sleeve screw guidd, and that seems to help, but what about drilling? Any other ideas? All the best.
