That would be on the underside of the SADDLE, of course!

You're supposed to use a barrier; waxed-paper works pretty well from what I
understand.

Here is a pretty nice paper although I would probably bronze sleeve, bore
and hone if it were me.

Bottom line is who cares if a drill wobbles--leave extra stock to
compensate, bore a short while with a single point off of the compound and
then follow ip with a reamer....or just bore the whole dam thing....if
you're doing work between centers, lock the quill, it'll repeat just fine
