Gotcha. Other than a maker space, I would look up drill guides. There are some pretty inexpensive options. And a plunge router will not be good for 1/16 holes.

As a carpenter who owns a plunge router, but not a drill press; if I needed to make 32 holes I would make a wooden guide from scrap, with the proper hole-spacing/layout, and use that to transfer the holes to your finished.

Good luck
