I need to drill a couple of 3/8" holes in 3/32" extruded aluminum
box. I'd like these holes to end up where I actually marked them :)

I do not have a drill press (or much else).  I DO have a drill motor and a vice.

What is the best path to success:  starting out with a 1/16" hole and
using successively larger bits until I reach 3/8", or just use the
3/8" bit straight away?

I don't want to spoil my stock.

Thanks,
Eric
