Centering is only part of the problem. You still have to align the axis

OK, have a Forstner made with a very long center point that matches the
through-hole that was drilled initially - then the through-hole is
guiding the Forstner on the same axis...?


That might work, but the pilot would have to be large enough diameter to
prevent flexing.

It's starting to sound more like a colander than a bowl
