Drill your 45 degree hole through a piece of scrap to make a drill
guide, then clamp that to your apron and use a brad point bit turning
at high speed (2500-3000RPM) to drill to the depth you want. You'll
probably find a stop collar for the bit helpful.

You might find that a Kreg "Rocket" jig (which drills at 15 degrees)
works even better. I'm inclined to see your 45 degrees as a _lot_ of
angle...
