While not a steb center, I find this 3/8 spur drive to work very well on small stock:

Most times when I turn, I leave a little extra on each end so I start drilling with a short bit in order to keep as straight as possible, then I can cut off the extra so the blank that I am now drilling is much shorter so less chance of screwing up the thru hole by going off center. capece?
Also I do it on the lathe and since it is round, I can allow the blank to spin a little as I drill, if it was square I think I'd get splinters doing that

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.

1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!

It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

thats the one I use on just about everything........the only time it spins in the wood is when your not paying attention and hit the wood with your knife to hard,,those are so sharp they bite into most hardwoods without having to beat on the blank to get it to sink in.

BOAT fish do count.

Sharp indeed.. if you do get one of these to use, (try it, you'll Love it) do not pound on blank.... like CS said sharp.. light tap of the hammer maybe, but if you pound, = split blank with this little sharp one.

when u go to weight the needle move the hook foward and put a shot in front a shot behind.
you can drill a hole in the arse and put a slug or 2 or 3 up till it is near the belly hole then slide nylon spacer or plastic tube and then wrap it off. u will get a needle that will ride perfect in the water. and the formulaH werks for all sizes and thick or thin. on a larger needle u can up the shot weights or double them. get your formula down®
and use trebles.
U can make them ride on top slow sink or fast sink.
thats the trick to it for the most part that and knowing when and how they want the needle to score, thats why i catch a ton of fish on these. an' love em.
a pefect needle that rides right will not go down butt heavy and if they do save them for fast nasty surf.
I have a few needles that suspend.
its in how they ride and a slight cork scew when they cast = nice weighting
As far as eye loop You can bend it horizontal and tune it a little .
