Thanks John. I've done several freehand but it's not a lot of fun.
What I was thinking of is maybe a sandwich of 2 sheets of metal. One would have a threaded hole for the screw and the other would have a guide hole for the drill bit. The 2 pieces could be lined up and glued together with epoxy or CA. Then you could just screw in a screw on one side and put the drill in the other side and "let 'er rip".

Ya didn't ask, but here's how I do that task anyway:
- I use that cheap Dremel drillpress thing to hold a Dremel with
a .013" drill bit in it (it's a nice bit - the shank flares out to fit
the largest Dremel chuck)
- The nylon screw is screwed into a threaded hole in a flat piece of
scrap plastic
- I line it up by eye and let 'er rip
Despite the relative kluge-iness of the whole thing it is pretty easy
to do and the hole gets pretty dang centered and lined up
