When I want to cut an accurate hole in a short, small diameter dowel or rod, I put it in my drill press and hold the bit up against the center of the end while it spins. But when the diameter is greater than my drill press chuck, like if the dowel diameter is 1" or greater, is there some crafty way to cut an accurate hole through the center? The hole needs only to be about 1/2" to 3/4" deep.
Thank you.
