[QUOTE="backspur, post: 2701084, member: 3034"] You could build a wood jig for your drill to keep it perpendicular to the floor. All you would need is a flat base plate to sit on the floor. Attach legs to the base that will support your drill in an upright position perpendicular to the base. Insert the drill and put a guide hole through the base plate. Then you can slide the base around, line it up over your hole locations, stand on the base and drill your perpendicular holes. Your floor would have to be relatively level, but you could shim the base. I've never tried this, but if I was tackling the project it's where I would start. [/QUOTE]
