T W - you bring up a good point which I neglected to mention. I center-mark the end of my 5/8" dowel THEN center-drill for a #8 or #10 screw. Install said screw, cut off its head LEAVING ABOUT A HALF-INCH (13mm). Now I can chuck the protruding shaft into the drill and twirl away for wood removal. When work is completed, either remove the screw with pliers or cut off the end of dowel. Hope this helps clarify!
