I use a drill press for most interior holes.  For those beyond the radius of the drill press I use a hand held small rotary tool.  The problem is to make it a true perpendicular cut without it going to a slight angle, thus sometimes making close cuts with the scroll saw having to be done very carefully, and sometimes the bottom stack of wood needing some cosmetic work.  What is a simple way of doing the interior holes that are beyond the radius of the drill press, that are perpendicular without having to eye it?

I use a plunge router attachment for my dremel tool.  Works great!

when you are drilling you can hold a square flat to the surface and hold the dremel against that or sometimes you can pick up a little level they sometimes come with furniture, and tape that to your dremel both should help, Howard

Thanks to Shadylady 0447 (Sue) and Scroller 991 (Howard) for your suggestions.  Sue - Does the plunger come with a dremel, or does it have to be ordered separate?  don't know about that piece of equipment.
