Simpler solution, use the drill press to drill three equidistant holes
in a stick of wood. Put dowels in the two on the ends. Straddle the
board with the dowels and the third hole will be centered and
perpendicular (assuming you did a good of making the thing).

Doesn't that describe 3 holes drilled at the corners of an equilateral
triangle?

Not if you're trying to center a hole in a board it doesn't.
