I need to sink a 3/4 dowel perfectly centered and perfectly straight from the top of a 2x2 post.

Does anyone have any woodworking ninja level 11 secret they can pass on to do this?

I have a floor standing drill press.

Tilt the table vertical and put a dowel in the chuck; swing the table until its face
is 1" from the dowel center, clamp a vertical board stop to the table 1" from the dowel center,
and you have a place to clamp your 2x2 with the drill on-axis.

In end grain, the drill won't self-feed well, but a Forstner bit should make a clean hole.
