This must be the most asked problem....
The important thing is to have everthing lined up, Salty was kind enough a while back to post a suggestion on using a dowel center, tthat was an improvment over the finish nail I used to line up my plug on...
Keep in mind, if you spin the drill too fas5t, you will have problem, if you do not continualy clear chips you will have a problem.
If I'm using the drill press I normaly start with a 3" bit and drill from each end, then using stepping blocks finish the job..
If I'm using the lathe, I dont even bother, I can run the 6" bit through from each end and meet every time, the key is slow to moderate drill speed and clearing the chips...
