drilling methods
I've done the requisite search and don't find a conclusive answer.
I seem to be having a lot of misses lately on thru drilling.
Method that I use is: drill press with short (jobber length) brad point with indexing pin on table, then finish with 12" bellhangers bit (split point), alternating ends. Even using a 3/16 bit for the tailhole I am still getting misses on 6" dannies. I've checked my setup repeatedly and can't find anything wrong. I thought it might be dull bits so I bought new ones with no change in results.
Will a longer bradpoint help much?
Which ones do you use?
Thanks
