for that connection, eyeballing it is plenty good enough. if you want
to do it on the drill press (I don't blame you...) make a V block to

Before you drill, run the spot that you plan to drill across a joiner to get
a good flat spot so the drill bit will not slip off. I would just set the
leg in place and punch it with an awl and drill there.
