I'm just getting my Monarch 10EE all settled in. Moving up from a flat belt Southbend 9A, I haven't had much drilling power in the past.
There seem to be four alternatives for drilling stock held in the chuck or on a faceplate.
1. A MT2 taper shank drill bit held in the tail stock.
2. Drill in a drill chuck with a MT2 shank inserted in the tail stock.
3. Drill chuck adapter on the tool post.
4. Morse taper adapter on the tool post.
I've only used #2 with jobber and silver & demming bits.
When starting with a solid and needing to open up a large bore, what is your preferred method (and why) of drilling a starting hole?
Thanks,
Ryan
