Eric I replaced my head stock this past winter. The new on has a 1/4" spring loaded center. It's the wood river deluxe drive center 5/8" 2MT
My tail center is a cup and the center cone is less than 5/32" where the wood abuts the cup, so I'd have to get a different tail stock center.

You could use a 60 degree cone for the tail stock if you wished to drill first.

The benefit I can see would be that your turned plugs dimensions would be centered at the thru holes, however if you are making a swimmer where the hole is not supposed to be centered it wouldn't be worth it.
