That's probably the best answer, but there are two other ways you can go.
Knowing the Morse taper number for yo9ur tailstock, you can get drill bits
with that taper on the shank. The main advantage is that they use up less
of the space between the spindle and tailstock, which could matter if you
are drilling into the end of a long spindle. It is also possible to buy
collets with a Morse taper to fit your lathe, on the outside, and a bore to
fit a certain drill diameter on the inside. This has the advantage that you
can use a drillset you already have.
