I have run into a problem and need some assistance from you more experienced turners. The problem is that the holes I drill into the blanks are starting centered but are wander off center by the time I have gone through the 2-1/4" blank. I am using my new Jet 17" drill press, a Rockler 7mm brad point bit, and a Craft Supplies pen vise.
The table is level and the drill press is square and running at 200 RPM. The press is clamped down and I releive the build up very frequently but sometimes that bit just wants to wander off center. It has happened on various woods. Is this normal on a 2-1/4" blank or am I possibly doing something wrong?
