How can I drill a hole into a large workpiece at an exact angle? (lemmy.world)

I need to drill holes at exact positions to affix large workpieces to my cnc for two-sided machining. My drill press is not large enough to reach all drilling positions, and drilling by hand often results in a non-90° angle. I know for metalworking there are magnet drill presses to drill holes in steel beams. But is there something similar for wood?

I mostly work with metal, but this is exactly what I'd do OP. If it's not an option, then there are jigs you can buy that will work.
