When you get your depth, keep an eye on the width it's cutting. If it's too deep, the width cuts may be too wide for your truss rod cover. It's a good idea to have your truss rod cover handy to check as you drill.
I drilled mine using my drill press. I changed my platform to vertical and then mounted the neck to the platform using clamps.
It's really nice clean cut. I think you'll be happy with your results.

I've been using my drill press and a forstner bit, but I don't like the bit chatter.
The width doesn't matter that much (within reason), I cut it before I glue the overlay on, and then hand cut the overlay access.
