Mark the center of the bottom of the newel post. We use a special center-finder attachment on our combination square to draw lines from corner to corner on the bottom of the post. The point where the lines intersect is the center.
Drill a hole at the center mark, using a power drill/driver.
Use a #3 driver bit for the large screw that attaches the plate to the bottom of the newel post. Drivers for Phillips head screws come in three sizes -- you will use the large bit that has a slightly blunted tip.
Wax the screw threads on all sides of the large screw to facilitate driving it into the hard oak. Square the plate to the bottom of the post and drive in the other screws for additional strength and support.
Repeat this step to mount the plate to the other newel posts.
