Step 3 вЂ“ Drill the Holes Using Hole Saw Bit Now from the bottom left, follow the same measurement as you did on the top left. You will have 8 marks 2 1/4вЂі apart in one line. Then from that first mark moving right, measure 2 1/4вЂі to the second hole, and so on. This will be the center of the first hole. Starting from the left top corner of the board, measure and mark 1 3/8вЂі from the side and 1 3/8вЂі from the top.
