Yes, it would be interesting to hear his voice when the wood jumps, plus, he is no more difficult to understand than some one from Scotland, for instance.
Thanks for demonstrating this safety hazard. - Yes you figured out that clamps improve safety on such jobs. - It unclear if it was softwood or hardwood. If hardwood then the drill speed was very much too fast. For that size bit it should be just 250 rpm. Most drill presses don't go that slow, so just select the slowest speed available then. For softwood and that size bit use 1000 rpm.
IMO .. you need to send the piece of wood through a jointer then a planer 1st to make the two faces parallel and flat. At a minimum the planer. Then the two halves will have a better chance to meet. In the video I can see the large piece rocking on uneven face.
I wonder if the board you used wasn't parallel? If not the drill and cutter would be coming in at different angles when you flipped the board. 🤔 I also wonder if a harder wood would give a better finish.
Please bring back your own voice

Yess... true... the wood must perfect parallel...
Having the thickness of the wood just slightly larger than the diameter of the ball might help.
I hear Vince Vaughan!
maybe you should get a foot switch so you can turn off the drill press without removing your hands, granted clamping the product helps
I much prefer your real voice. And yes, I agree, these cutters produce a disappointing finish.
That 1st big ball was scetchy.

Yes... I think this too...
Please be careful
An interesting tool and video but I'd rather go and buy some beads from the web.
