Thanks Ernie. I am a new woodturner (I started in may) and I saw your videos about making twist candlesticks. I bought a few hss twist drills and the thing that holds them with the morse taper (also without the key). This video was very helpful for learning other than the regular way, which is the only one I know from metal turning.

Thank you for this! I've been struggling with a piece that needed center holes on both ends, and my pen jaws just weren't cutting it. Your technique for drilling spindles should solve my problem!

How deep of a hole can you drill with a lathe? I’m interested in whistle/ flute making.

If you hold the drill in the headstock and push the work with the tailstock you can drill from each end and get twice the flute length of the drill. Holding the work with a clamp may be advisable to prevent injury if you drill out the side. A standard length twist drill is called a jobber, but you can buy long versions called an aircraft drill. For flute making you will have to then use a reamer to get the conical bore.
