Larry,
Also AYC is easier to drill out than harder woods.Just go SLOW and back out every 1/4 to 1/2 inch to clean it out.Usually do one side then flip it and go from other end, use longer drill if necessary to connect holes.With harder woods that's when the bit wants to wander (bend).Just trying to give you some info, and if you drill through the side of the plug or the holes don't line up....it happens

, believe me, I know
