The old set up on the drill press above ...
The new set up ... Youve got to have a chuck that fits in your lathe drive shaft.. I used a regular 1.25" spade bit for these holes and turned an oak dowel to fit. Once you start, you can drill the whole depth of the spade bit if you want, which is about 3". The bits, with their tall straight sides and no lead screw just drill right in there if they are sharp ... I used the tail stock crank to push the stock onto the bit and by first mounting the stock on the regular drive center and tailstock dead center, I was able to locate the guide strips on either side of the stock before inserting the drill chuck ...
It was smoother drilling if I clamped the jig to the lathe choices before drilling ..
Theres the tenon in there ...
Perfect alignment .... we made a stubby tenon that was just an inch longer than the hole was deep
that fit nicely. The extra inch let us clamp the stub that stuck out in the vice to remove it after we finished turning and sanding ... Next time well do work like below with a jig like this ...
