Yes, I use a drill press and a machining vise. It keeps everything plumb. I just eyeball where I want the center of the handle to be and drill in quarter inch (cleaning) increments. Even with a drill press it's good to drill a pilot hole from opposite ends to get your holes centered. I don't use a hand drill because I break too many bits.
