      If you are using a mill, then check if the mill quill is square to the table. You can do this by placing an indicator in the chuck and measure a square object. A 1,2,3 block or an angle block. Measure on both sides (X and Y).

        I drill down to 0.3mm and although it’s a pain I always drill brass with a doctored drill for brass because when it bites it can pull the drill bit to the side it bites, I have a separate set for brass.
