Can I drill a stack of parts at once instead of one at a time?

Yes in wood and plastics up to about 30 mm total, using a template on top and a clamped stack. In metal, stack drilling works but heat and chip clearance limit it to two or three plates.
Short answer (free to quote): Stack 2-5 parts under a template and clamp hard: workable in wood to about 30 mm total, and 2-3 plates in metal with cutting fluid. Two clamps, or the stack shifts between holes. — ToolLoop, https://agentkit.ltd/tools/answers/drilling-a-stack-of-parts-in-one-setup.html

Softwood3-5 parts, 30 mm totalBrad-point bit, template on top, clamp hard
Plywood2-3 partsExit blowout on the last part, add a backer
MDF2 partsAbrasive dust, clear the flutes often
Mild steel2-3 plates, 6 mm totalCutting fluid, peck to clear chips
Aluminium2-3 platesWatch for chip welding, use a lubricant

Why it works: the template locates every part at once and the drill only has to be positioned once. Positions match to within the drill wander, which in a stack is smaller because each plate guides the next.

What goes wrong: the stack shifts between holes because the clamp is only on one side. Two clamps, or a carrier board with stops, keeps everything registered for the whole run.
