Hey guys.
Need some suggestions on tooling.
I am drilling 5/8 and 3/4 holes in 1/2" A36, then move down thru that hole and drill thru another plate 5" below it. These are weldments, so the plates aren't straight and the drills want to walk.
Does anybody have a good tool for doing this that will keep holes aligned?
I don't want to index the part.
Heres a model.

If you could find some long center drills to center drill the bottom holes after the first holes are drilled. And just get a couple long-series HSS drills. That's what I would do anyway.

A eazy way to fix it is to incorparate drill bushings into your fixturing, if you are using a fixture that is
. Just a thought.
Just push the button,what's the worst that could happen.

Thats what I am doing now, problem is at that length, with a skewed part, even center drill will walk some, which causes drill to lead off.

I'm thinking some kind of core-drill or one of those insert-drills used for hogging on a lathe

Sorry I can't help
I recently was drilling 3/4" holes 36" deep at 1 1/4" IPM with no problems, but your application can't use this technology, but your jig could have a second hardened drill guide just above the second hole.
Super X3. 3600rpm. Sheridan 6"x24" Lathe + more. Three ways to fix things: The right way, the other way, and maybe your way, which is possibly a faster wrong way.

Neil's method (second drill bushing) will work if it can be included in the fixture. Also, his 3/4" dia. hole 36" deep is entirely possible. I've done .625" dia. hole 28" deep without a gundrill as well. Old farts tricks. lol
