Why not just put the tape flag on the bit?

The good thing about the tape on the drill bit is that when you are reaching
the tape depth the tape clears away the dust that is piling up around the
drill bit. So, you don't really even need to watch the tape -- just the
dust that is piling up -- and when the tape brushes it away you're at the
right depth.
