been trying to figure out how to drill a 2in hole, 12inches deep in some round stock. I have a lathe, but no drill bit that size. Dont have a drill bit that will reach that far except for some aircraft bits, 3/8 I think being the larges size. Thinking about making a drill bit extender and drilling starter hole and then going with boring bar, but my boring bar wont reach 12inches in a hole. I can probably flip the piece and drill/bore from each end, but even 6in deep is a lot of peck and drill and the biggest hole i can drill is 1in. Without resorting to buying an expensive gun drill that would only be used once, anybody have any suggestions. any way I do this, it seems its going to be a long process
