Well; it's one of those things that 'can be done, but shouldn't be!' WRT 'good workshop practice', that is...

I have used a rattle gun and 90deg gearbox, to drill a set of mounting bolt holes in an FJ45 Tojo Landcruiser's chassis rails, to fit a later model spare wheel carrier.

It was pretty rough on the drill bit's cutting edges, but that was the only way to 'get 'er done'.

Cheers,
Gadge
