Yes i should have added using a Center drill prior to the small pilot hole. I do this mostly on the lathe.
Another tip I found on the www is using a steel ruler to find the Center on a shaft. It works best I found if you use a pointed shaft mounted in the chuck. Balance the rule over the shaft, lower the point. When the ruler is level you are darn close center. Quick and dirty method.
There are some very good YT videos out there.
