Step 4: Drill pilot holes along the line.
To drill pilot holes for the screws, use a tapered drill bit with a countersinking collar. This will allow the screw to rest flush with the side of the miter box. The pilot holes will be drilled into the miter box sides, along the line that marks the center of the elevated base. Drill as many holes as needed, depending on the length of the box.
