Any other suggestions on how to do this easily with hand power tools?

A Brace and bit would give you the depth you want (all the way
through) but it is not a power tool. There would be a good bit of
sweat even in AC.

If it's new PT, it'll be soft and wet and a brace and bit would cut it
like butter (if the bit is sharp)

Or, a self-feeder....
