OK, thanks for all the suggestion guys, but we missed the mark, perhaps I
should have explained what I am doing.

I need to drill these holes in 1" dowels, hundreds of them. Hence, I am not
turning these, nor routing them. As I stated, I already built a jig that
affords me dead on accuracy in test runs to center the hole, no problem
there.

OK, this is the second time you've told us that. I'm just curious: how
do you know that you can keep the bit centered down this very long
length of dowel if you haven't located a long-enough drill bit yet?

I suppose it *is* in the realm of possibility that one could keep a 1/2"
drill bit centered inside a 1" dowel for the length of 3 feet, but I'm
skeptical.
