Straight holes with the chuck aligned with the hole so it can be used
to guide a tap. What more would a machinist want? I could do it with
a wiggler instead of a flexible drill, but it would take longer. Try
it when drilling a hole in a piece of round stock before deciding that
it won't work well.

Your choice, of course. But with your "system" you would do nearly as well
with a hand held drill. Grant's advice was for machinists.
