I've recently moved to mandrel-less turning and I'm getting much better results but I still get a little OOR because of the drill bits.
On the larger pens I'm using the standard drill bits (jobber length) and they have a slight wobble towards the end of the bit (further away from the chuck - less accuracy).
Is there a place to order 10.5 and 12.5 bits that are shorter and hence more precise than the off-the-shelf crap I'm using now?
Drilling on the lathe is the next step for me - but I still see the problem with the long drill bits.
Thanks,
