Center drilling hole in dowel?
I have started searching the web and thoughts would check with you guys as well.
I working on my first conveyer and want to drill a hole thru the center of a dowel. The dowel will be the roller at each end of the conveyer and I may also use them along the conveyer as belt supports. I don't have a lathe yet, sounds like that is the best way to do this. My drill press chuck does not open quite wide enough to get the dowel in it. I was going to try that. The dowel is about 1" long and 5/8" diameter. Maybe instead of searching for how to do this I will search for a descent table top lathe. Any tips on that sort of lathe is also welcome. Thanks for any tips!
