Thru-Drilling

How many people thru-drill the blanks first, rather than after the plug is turned????

I've been having some issues with thru-drilling. I got the drill chuck for the lathe and i'm still drilling off center quite a bit and wasting wood. Is there something i'm doing wrong?

Should drill pilot holes with a brad point first. Then use a regular bit?


Any help would be appreciated.
