I am a newbie at pen turning and am in the process of getting my pen blanks drilled on my drill press. I purchased a starter kit from Amazon.com which included a 7mm drill bit for use on the blanks. I placed the bit in my drill press and ensured that it was square and drilled out several blanks. When I put the tubes in the blanks, it seems as if the holes are slightly oversized and I am concerned about the CA glue will not properly adhere the tube to the blank due to the slight space around the tube. I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong to cause the hole to be slightly oversized. It's a 7mm bit and the kits I bought are 7mm kits. Thanks.
