I also use long fluted bits 5/32 & 3/16". They're made from Norseman. Limited size on 5/32" bits. Not available now 6" in 5/32. Only 9" 12" . Available in 3/16" 6,9,12" .
I tried to search for 6" long flutes. Found 8". Some are pricey.
So I have one bit left. Why because sh*t happens and bits break. Ouch!! Lately Ill do 3/16" on the plugs longer than 8". I just finished drilling >100 this week. 2 duds. 2 drill bit method . 1400 -2k rpm. Birch. Cleaning ever 1/4"-1/2" depth. In &out. Monotonous for sure.
I would like to see the slide unit
Lou made. We spoke years back at Plugfest and he was very innovative like Prof M in concocting jigs.

No Vega, I’m freehand turning everything at the moment. I have a large Vega sitting in the basement that I still need to put on a Delta Lathe I have, but have to assemble that as well.
I hate drilling birch, H’Islander from the other site gave away one part of the slide jig that Lou made on the other site a little while ago. I think Tony (Antagonizer) beat me to it.
With Lou’s Jig you only need one bit (12”).
