The prescribed way of fitting a Surly front rack to the 1x1 fork is to use adapters that they sell. They look big and ugly enough that I'm tempted to drill the fork and do some rivnuts - but the thought of unsightly adapters is a bit less stressful than the thought of my fork snapping into pieces, so I don't see myself putting the fork in the drillpress.
