Robert; I actually use my heavy saddle stitching machine without thread to pre punch my hand stitch holes. The drill press deal is the same principle. I would recommend this be done with no power for the best result. The main advantage here is that if you are working on a flat surface the hole should be very straight through the leather making the back side as nice as the front. I use the same needle that I would use in the machine. also don't forget the bees wax or parafin to make things go easier.
