Phil, do yourself a favor and buy three more things at HF:

Cheap DP vise, size small
Vise-Grip like hold down.It will save you some lacerations when the
piece of sheetmetal you are drilling starts spinning in your fingers.
This is the most-used item for flat stuff.
 ITEM 98725

Cheap vee-block for drilling round things. They have an extruded
aluminum version for $10, works great for round stuff
http://www.ntxtools.com/network-tool-warehouse/MIS-CENTERIT-p-505.html
 (This one is $15, but HF has them for $10)

And a cheap centerfinder will get you on-center when you drill that
round thing in the vee-block

Have fun

Rex
