Centre drill misalignment

ady, do you put a pilot drill in first?Ian S C

The carbide centre makes the very first pop for me, up to a millimeter.

Then depending on the job ahead, I take it from there.

 

I always use the centre in the tailstock/headstock, set the job up around it, and pop any holes required on the lathe itself.

I found other methods unreliable…(and sometimes very annoying   ).
