Hi,
I have been working on a couple of practice kits and I wanted to try a few holes on a drill press. They turned out a bit… weird looking. I’m no machinist so I am not even sure what the proper terminology is in this case. Is this chuck/bit wobble? After noticing the results on one line, I changed to a brand new Cleveland #40 bit, with the same results. This is from a cheap Porter Cable drill press from Lowes. Any suggestions? Maybe chain the press to the hitch of my truck, drive around the block, and try again? Am I overthinking this?
Thanks,
John
