I always have to do things the hard way..I through drill first, then draw a line from the nose hole to the tail hole on the bottom of the plug then use the drill press to do the lead an swivel holes,,but I don't use the handle on the drill press. I push the plug onto the bit..I do this because of the curvature[spell] of the body, I'm not producing a 100 plugs so I take my time an do it this way....I do most things by eye an don't use jigs. I want my holes 90 degree's to the body where the holes are an not to the center line of the plug as a whole...in other words if the back of the plug curves down to the tail, I lift the plugs butt up so it's 90 degree's to the bit...this way the grommet sits nice an flat an the swivel is some what pointed to the rear of the plug instead of being straight up an down.....whew!
