I just drilled some this morning, first time. I rather suspect that one
needs a drill press (which I have) to lower the frustration factor. I
also found that a 3/8" spade bit rather than the usual twist bit was
much less apt to "travel" when drilling that second hole for the double
hole set, and also resulted in a much cleaner hole with almost no
tearout. Masonite, I've discovered, doesn't care if you use a backer
board or not as far as tearout goes. As soon as I get a spare minute
(hah!) I'll construct a jig for the drilling, which should make things
go much faster and more accurately.
