Thanks for all the helpful suggestions. I am drilling into the end grain. Starting with a 1 3/4 inch Forstner bit 2 inches deep. Then switching to a 1 inch Forstner bit for the rest of the way. I started on slow speed and increased it to 800 rpms when I switched to the 1 inch bit. The feed was slow ...

I am using the horizontal boring mode on the SS to bore a hole through a 2X2X8 inch stock. I start the bore in the center but it ends up way off center on the other end. How can I improve the accuracy? Should I be using the SS in drill press mode? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
