5/32" long or short fluted bit from wl fuller on 7 cypress in warwick. They offer as standard a long and a short model. Both have their uses. They are the folks who supply mcmaster carr etc with the bits offered in their catalog.

Mt2 taper chuck in the lathe, any 5/32" bit (you only need 2-3" as was mentioned above) low to med speed depending on wood used. Grab piece and direct it to the spinning bit with one hand(center it) push the tail stock slowly making sure to back it out to keep a clean bit.

Flip the piece and repeat. Finish a complete through hole with a hand drill 5/32" long again working a bit from each end.

If you allow the tool (bit) to do its job without overheating it, it isnt going to walk.

If you need model #'s etc lmk I'll hit you back with them.
