From Cable Railing Installation, Step 2: Drill Post Mounting Holes
After marking the bolt positions, use a drill (in this case, a DeWalt 20V MAX Lithium Ion drill) to pre-drill the mounting holes through the post base plate and into the deck boards. Ensure the drill bit size is appropriate for the screws or bolts that will be used to secure the post. Pre-drilling prevents splitting the deck material and makes driving the fasteners easier.
