Well, do like I did. If your pulls are like the 30 or so I just put on the
bedroom suite I made for the wife and me, they are kind of beveled. They are
3 1/2 centers on the holes. I drilled a hole the size of the screw on 3 1/2
center, then used a counter sink to set the protrusion of the bail into.
Lays flat on the drawer face like it was supposed to. I guess you could
always use a little bigger bit and do the same thing????

You don't need one - it's a different sort of accuracy.

Your problem here seems to be one of accurately marking the front face
of the panel, so that the drilled holes begin in the right place. The
idea of screw-in marking points is a good one, and should sort you
out.

A drill press helps to give you an accurate hole, as far as direction
goes. It can also reduce breakout on the back, as you get better
control of pressure. It does little to improve accuracy for the
starting point on a flat panel.

If you dont have any sort of drill press, the cheap ones are worth
having. If you're drilling cross holes in dowel, angled holes in
chairs legs etc., then they become extremely useful.
