I'm drill my blanks on the lathe and using jobber bits. I just drilled a 12.5 mm hole after starting the hole with a starting bits. I turn with my lathe down slow (Jet mini VS) and take my time advancing the bit, stopping and backing out, cleaning the bit about every 8 - 10 turns. When I'm done I find the hole won't take the brass in the middle of the blank. It doesn't seem to help to redrill the blank, it's always tight in the middle. wondering if that has happened to anyone else and if so what's the fix?
