RE: Reamer vs. drill bit
Futurase:
Your way of locating and drilling you holes may be close enough for your purpose but it is far from perfect. When I do it quick and dirty I do it that way too. Real accuracy takes more time and effort than this. A reamer is far more accurate on hole size and a piloted reamer is far more accurate on location.
