This is my first post and am pretty new to woodworking. I am working on a project that requires a 3/8" hole bored into a 1 1/4" round red oak post. I keep tearing the wood on the backside when the drill exits. I'm using a brad point drill, I have tried different speeds and feed rates. I'm using a wooden V block to hold the piece. Any suggestions would be helpful.
Thanks,
JimA
