I know most of you drill on a lathe. I got my drill press awhile back and figure I might as well use it. The trouble is the throat depth is to short. I tried my pen vise it. I drill about a quarter of the way and had to raise the vise up. I tried flipping the blank over, but I only went about a quarter that way also. I have a 4" (I think) penmakers drill bit from woodcraft. I chucked it as little as safely possible. By the way the vise was on the base. The table was to high, even being set as low as possible. I can pictures in the AM if needed.
