Thanks.Â* Does a 6mm core drill need a central pilot bit?Â* Nothing seems

No. And therein lies the problem. They wander like buggery until you get

One way to sort that is to make a 6mm hole in something and use that as
a jig pressed against the wall.

Or a steady hand and very light pressure to get the hole started.
