might be fancier, but I've never drilled a countersunk hole from the back for t-bolts. I just mark the holes from the driver with a pencil (circle around and an X marks the spot), move the driver so you don't hurt it or buzz the metal with the side of the bit and have flying shrapnel, drill a hole just slightly smaller than the barrel of the t-nut. then, I use a large o.d. metal washer with a small hole on the front to do the first tighten of the t-bolt and pull the nut into the back by tightening it. You can also tap them with a hammer from the back once they're lined up correctly if you want. They'll pull into the wood very snug with the force.
