Drill straight holes without a drill press but using a router (subtitled)

I've tried to find a way to drill accurate perpendicular, straight holes without a drill press. I came up with this easy method using a router (trimmer) and a template trim bit. I needed perfect holes for the dowels to make a coat rack. Especially useful when you need to drill holes larger than 5/8" 15mm. Smaller holes could be done with the pilot hole method using a simple drill guide. Auger bits are better for this method because of the screw at the tip follows the hole.

You can see how this router method works in the video making a coat rack.
