I'm working on a takedown bowie.
I've been trying to drill a straight hole in a couple different pieces of material.
I'm using a 8 inch long 1/8" diameter bit with a tabletop drill press and a I'm using a drill vise.
I seem to have hole wander no matter what I do. Wrecked some figured osage already, and some wicked stabilized blocks as well. It goes in straight, but sometimes comes out over 1/4" from center.
I've thought about bumping up in bit diameter. Maybe the bit is too thin?
Another solution-Bigger wood block and build around the hole?
Thanks
