What about attaching a strong magnet on either side of where you want the hole to locate where to start drilling on top?

If you're drilling a quartz counter top wear a respirator and use a vacuum. Those tops are 93% Silica and 7% resin. Highly toxic. I'm our stone shops Safety guy!

Having someone spray it with water during cutting helps a lot with the dust as well. But yeah, respirators are a must. Silicosis is not a joke.

It's SS, a magnet won't stick to it.

The suggestion was two magnets, one on either side.

(also there are different types of SS, and some of those types are ferromagnetic).
