Stan,
I agree with Michael - start with a #40 and work your way up slowly.
There's no rush to get it drilled. Stepping up the size slowly will take an
extra 5 minutes. Time well spent.

I'm ready to drill the bolt holes through the F445 Bearing Blocks, but
I'm concerned about the possibility of the drill bit walking and the
hole being way off location when it breaks through the other side even
though I used my protractor to set the drill press table normal to the
drill line. I have considered using a 3/16" spur point drill to make a
pilot hole and then opening up with a #10 per instructions. Seems like
that might work better than just punching through with a #10 in one
shot. Am I over analyzing this?

Agreed. Start small and work your way up. Also, make sure its clamped to the
table REALLY well. I have a huge scar on my hand from where I didn't... ;-)
