I use a transfer punch and a stepped bit, with no drill stand.
I start with the laser engraving of the pannels, I add a point in the center of every hole. Then I punch them with a transfer punch, put tape on it and drill 1mm holes using a Proxxon rotary tool with vertical stand, then 2mm, 2,5 and finally 3,2mm, I use a big drill with a stepped bit, by hand, having the 3,2mm gives you better accuracy, as you can insert the tip of the bit and helps keeping the hole straight. Also I put a piece of tape on the bit as a size reference.
