| Please remember; while this is a gret method for oncenter drilling. Predrilling on center like this is no good for swimmers. The nose hole on a swimmer is located by the lip! | ||

This will happen only or mostly when you over tighten the piece of wood on the lathe. Most people over tighten the stock that causes it to split. You've got 1/4" penetration on both ends I usually just give 2 spins and then worst thing that can happen is the piece of wood just spins a little and I tighten it a little more. I predrill 100 % of my lures and then spin them and I've done about 1500 so far on a lathe and of them I've had only 2 so far that have cracked. (ALWAYSE WEAR SAFETY GEAR). Charleston I through drill my swimmers too. Then I just put them into the lathe a little off center on one end this gives a perfect angle for the body. It just vibrates a little at first  .Armand | |||

If I predrilled the center holes, Will the wood split when I tighten it on my lathe? Of course I will try it this week also. Thanks again.
