Default drilling 5/8 -- 3/4" holes manuall

If you use a drill that accepts a pipe nipple for a handle (has a hole
threaded for NPT), insert a longish pipe nipple, and have someone else
hold it as you do drilling, that should help.

That is not for a handle! That is for a foot rest so you can stand on
