I've had problems with both. I use a lathe, but have used a drill press also and have messed up many a blank. It's all trial and error. Gotta love it! I use a short bit in the lathe and make the connection with a 10" bit in my hand drill. When using the hand drill I've found that going slow and backing out is the key, especially with hard woods (Maple, Mahogany).
