After you put the bit in, run the tailstock down to the bit and see if they line up. The 2 points must be real close to lining up to each other if you want your holes to line up and meet in the middle.
Squealing seems to happen when the bit wanders and bends.

I wouldn't put oil on the bit, it'll transfer to the wood and effect the painting process possibly.
