Drilling with a lathe?

[ProfessorM]

no. you hold plug in hand and push plug into drill that is in drill chuck that is spinning in head stock. Tailstock holds a live center and is put in end of plug and tailstock is pushed towards head stock and into drill. 36 inch bed is perfect. Like stated above by adson.

OK, so I dug out the old lathe today and could have swore it wes a Craftsman, but couldn't find a name on it. There is a model # on it ( I'll google it later ). The head stock seems to be a shaft that goes right through the pully and has a stop coller on the outside of the housing. I'm not sure if I will be able to use this as I planned for through drilling.
