Holes are not perfectly centered.
Verify that the self-centering mechanism is properly engaged with the edge of the workpiece and that the jig is held firmly in place before drilling.
Inconsistent hole depths.
Utilize the included brass stop block or set a depth stop on your drill to maintain consistent drilling depth across multiple holes.
